Target, grappling with escalating theft and “organized retail crime,” is set to close nine outlets across four states. Despite “adding more security team members, using third-party guard services, and implementing theft-deterrent tools,” the challenges with crime persisted. Below are the affected markets along with the remaining stores and employment data:
- New York City:
- Harlem: 517 E 117th St. (96 remaining stores, over 20,000 team members)

Over 150 stores remain operational in these regions. Target is boosting security through locking cases for certain merchandise and allying with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Investigations division. “While we will continue to make meaningful investments throughout our business, we cannot solve this issue on our own,” the firm noted.
“At 91 years old, she remains incredible. This actress stays active and refuses to back down.”
Carol Burnett, a legendary American actress and comedian, is widely recognized for her trailblazing comedy-variety series, The Carol Burnett Show, which aired from 1967 to 1978.
Now at the age of 91, Burnett continues to enchant viewers through her role in the Apple TV+ series Palm Royale, a drama set in Palm Beach, Florida, in 1969. Born on April 26, 1933, in San Antonio, Texas, Burnett was raised by her grandmother following her parents’ separation.
In the 1940s, her family relocated to Hollywood, where Burnett pursued her studies in theatre at the University of Southern California. She gained fame in 1957 on The Ed Sullivan Show with a comedic number that humorously captured young women’s infatuation with heartthrob Elvis Presley, catapulting her to stardom.
Decades of Unforgettable Performances
In addition to her iconic television series, Burnett has given outstanding performances in films, musicals, and Broadway productions.
Her Broadway repertoire includes Love Letters (2014), Hollywood Arms (2002), Putting It Together (1999), Moon Over Buffalo (1995), Fade Out – Fade In (1964), and Once Upon a Mattress (1959). On the big screen, she appeared in films like Pete ‘n’ Tillie (1972), The Front Page (1974), and The Four Seasons (1981), among many others, each role highlighting her remarkable talent and versatility.
Carol Burnett’s lasting charm stems from her capacity to adapt and resonate with audiences through the years. From her beginnings on The Ed Sullivan Show to her recent performance in Palm Royale, Burnett remains a cherished icon in the entertainment industry, affirming that her legendary status is truly warranted.
