Target cuts hours and offers first hour shopping to elderly

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (WEYI) - Target announced Tuesday it will begin closing all stores every day at 9 p.m.

This closing time will allow employees to replenish and deep clean the stores for guests amid the coronavirus outbreak spreading across the country.

The company also announced it will limit the first hour of shopping each Wednesday to the elderly and people with underlying health conditions.

Target is fast-tracking food, medicine, and other essentials. The company still plans to have limitations on in-demand items and it asks customers to only purchase what they need.
