Target is closing two stores in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The retailer has confirmed its locations at 1830 Ocean Ave. in San Francisco and 19499 Stevens Creek Blvd. in Cupertino will close on June 26.
The South San Francisco store employs approximately 40 team members; The Cupertino Main Street store employs around 35 team members, Target spokeswoman Jacqueline DeBuse wrote in an email.
“All eligible store team members will be given the option to transfer to another Target store in their area,” DeBuse wrote.
The Target store on Ocean Avenue opened in 2015 as part of the retailer’s efforts to open smaller so-called “Target Express” stores in neighborhoods. The 17,000-square-foot space near the San Francisco City College campus features an abbreviated version of what you’ll find in any of Target’s big box stores with a focus on home products. There is also a Target Express in the SF Financial District near the Montgomery BART station which will remain open.
DeBuse said Target remains committed to the San Francisco Bay Area and dozens of Bay Area stores will remain open, including five other locations in San Francisco.
“The decision to close a store is always difficult, and the company follows a rigorous annual process to assess the performance of each store in the portfolio and maintain the overall health of the business,” she wrote.
