It just smarter to get it over with pay what you can negotiate and leave

Not sure, but it looks like Halloween because the crusty lesbian is dressed as a priest.

I hope Target goes bankrupt but why are these lunatics picking on Target?

I understand that. But, I was hoping that DcCtiger guy could break down for us as though we're 1st year MBA students as opposed to seasoned MBAs that have made $110 million write downs because someone screwed up.

Some leftist clergyperson who is all feels, but has no idea how businesses work or even the understanding that businesses are not sociology projects. They're in business to make a profit.

The main Target headquarters is in another part of Minneapolis. These were supplemental offices. Employees quit coming to this space during Covid, and never fully returned there. I’m guessing that proved to Target the space wasn’t necessary.



LOL at all of the “sheep” trying to spin this into something political!

I dont know the numbers but I can guess why the decision was made.

Lets say you lease is 20 million a year and operating costs for power, maintenance, security, the skeleton crew you still have working there is another 5. Thats 25 annually and you lease runs another 8 years. Thats 200million total.

Looking at the net present value of that extra 90 million you could save by paying the 110mil and your return on invested capital, it makes good fiscal sense to buy out the lease.

So you "cut your losses", "ripped off the band aid", etc. However in good corporate spin I prefer to say.........

I didnt "lose" 110 million, I saved the company 90 million (less net present value calculations). Now where is my bonus

Ever since Target pulled the kiddie trans wear off the sales floor ( but still available & online as I understand it) the Left have turned on them.
