Retailer Target says it's closing 9 stores due to theft. The crime data tells a different story. ( web.archive.org )

While it’s interesting to know that Target’s stated reason for closing the stores doesn’t seem true, I’d like to know what the actual reason is.

They placed target stores in areas where people are more price sensitive and therefore less likely to shop at target.
