Target has announced that they are reserving the first hour of each Wednesday for the most vulnerable to the coronavirus (COVID-19). At the Target in Edgewater (1985 Sheridan Boulevard), this means 8-9 am each Wednesday. For those that are not the most vulnerable, the wise choice is to not shop at Target from 8-9 am on Wednesdays to protect our fellow community members.
Here are more specifics from Target:
Why are you making changes to your store hours?
Beginning March 18, all stores will close at 9 p.m. local time to allow even more time for teams to clean and restock store shelves
Also beginning March 18, Target will reserve the first hour of shopping each Wednesday at stores nationwide for vulnerable guests – including elderly and those with underlying health concerns. We are encouraging other guests to plan their shopping trips around this timeframe.
When and where can senior guests participate?
Beginning Wednesday, March 18, Target will reserve the first hour of shopping each Wednesday at stores nationwide for vulnerable guests – including elderly and those with underlying health concerns.
What special precautions are you taking to ensure the stores are safe for these vulnerable guests?
We’ve implemented a number of steps to protect our guests and our team, such as adding payroll hours to support more rigorous cleaning routines. This includes ensuring guest-facing surfaces like checklanes and touchscreens are cleaned at least every 30 minutes.
