Costco, who didnt remove their dei platform, their foot traffic is up for the same time period. I'm with you on everyone pulling back some, but I still think the dei portion is a large part. Especially since Target was known to be more progressive and minority friendly, at least with their marketing.

Shopping at Costco makes sense during economic downturn because buying in bulk means better prices means buying with today's dollars. People leave the expensive department stores.

Are they? All I've ever heard about target before this is that they took down pride displays

Their marketing was very body positive, racially diverse, disabled inclusive, lgbt supportive etc.

They took down their pride displays and then proceeded to gut their dei initiatives. This is a slap in the face to those communities they "supported" if even at a superficial level.

Ah well, not surprising, especially since they did it once before lol
