Personal-care items—including toothpaste, toothbrushes, and other everyday hygiene products—sit behind locked Plexiglas cabinets at the Target flagship store in downtown Minneapolis. In recent years, large retailers across U.S. urban centers have expanded the use of secured cases for small, easily resold goods in response to rising shrink and merchandise loss.
