Target Pays $110 Million to Escape Minneapolis Headquarters

An animal will chew its own leg off to escape a trap. Likewise, even a corporation as historically woke as Target will pay whatever it costs to escape its downtown Minneapolis headquarters as the area swirls down a maelstrom of moonbattery into ruin.

Via Newsmax:

For nearly five years, almost one million square feet of former Target office space in downtown Minneapolis — where the retail giant is headquartered — have sat largely vacant, even as Target continued paying rent, The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

The George Floyd race riots presumably played a role in the area’s second largest employer abandoning its downtown headquarters.

Why did Target end their lease in Minneapolis?

Minneapolis has again become an epicenter of violent unrest as Democrat politicians mobilize mobs of moonbats against federal immigration enforcement. As noted at Not the Bee,

Leftists have spent the last several months storming the corporate offices because Target won’t condemn the operations of federal law enforcement officers who have been tasked with arresting pedophiles, traffickers, and murderers who entered the United States illegally.

Moonbat infestations are not easy on the ears:

I regret to inform you that liberals are now SINGING in Target to protest ICE deporting illegal immigrant..

Back to Newsmax:

Now the retailer has written a check for nearly $110 million to formally break its City Center tower lease, which had been scheduled to run through 2031.

It is worth any price to get out of the sinkhole an inner city will inevitably become with moonbats like Jacob Frey in control.

It isn’t just Target:

Minneapolis is grappling with roughly 10 million square feet of empty office space. Even with some companies implementing return-to-office policies, tenants across the Twin Cities gave back 300,000 SF more office space than they leased last year.

Go woke, go broke. It applies not just to brands like Bud Light but to whole cities.
