Target World Headquarters, 1000 Nicollet Mall, Boarded Up

The Target World Headquarters at 1000 Nicollet Mall in Downtown Minneapolis stands with its ground-level windows boarded with plywood. This protective measure was implemented during the widespread protests and unrest that followed the May 25, 2020 death of George Floyd. As the corporate headquarters for Target Corporation, a major retailer, this building is a prominent structure on Nicollet Mall, a significant pedestrian thoroughfare in the city. The boarding reflects the extensive precautions taken by many businesses in the city center during a period of intense public outcry and demands for racial justice.
