The reduction has already been implemented on 1,500 products, with more price cuts planned for the remainder of 2024.
The pricing strategy is timed to coincide with Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and the 2024 back-to-school season, for which Target offers separate discounts.
The low prices also apply to Target-owned brands such as Good & Gather and Everspring, and on the retailer’s tapp.
Target routinely adjusts its prices to remain competitive within the US retail market.
