We’re making a lot of changes at Target this year, and we’re learning a lot along the way. Following our Q2 earnings, Chief Merchandising Officer Cara Sylvester shares what we’re seeing from recent changes in food and Fun101, what’s exciting about the upcoming Target Beauty Studio and how those lessons are helping us get better as we go. And with holiday getting closer, there’s even more to come as we bring newness, style, design and value together for our guests. Check out what’s giving Cara confidence in the months to come. #WeAreTarget #TeamTarget

The strongest communities are built when people come together around what matters most. Over the past few months, I’ve seen that spirit come to life across Bullseye Builds, the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games, Greater Twin Cities United Way’s Day of Action and back-to-school events around the country, including alongside the Dallas Mavericks. Team Target worked alongside local partners in very different communities with very different needs. Sometimes that meant helping vitalize a shared space, or creating a more inclusive experience. Other times, it was as practical as helping a student start the school year with the supplies they need. For us, community work is not one size fits all—because the work is done in partnership with the diverse perspectives and experiences of our partners and teams. What is consistent is our approach of listening first and building trusted relationships that span the test of time. That’s how we’ve approached this work for generations, and it’s how we’ll keep moving forward: with local support, national impact and a commitment to listening and learning with our team, guests and partners. Thank you to the thousands of team members and partners who continue to show up and give their time, energy and care. #Roadto1MillionHours #Target #Volunteer https://lnkd.in/gXUDBraE

We’re still early in Target’s next chapter of growth, and our Q2 results are encouraging because they show guests are responding to the changes we’re making. Earlier this year, we laid out a strategy focused on playing our own game and delivering the style, design and value busy families count on. This quarter, we saw broad-based strength across multiple dimensions of our business. Net sales grew 5.3%, comparable sales grew 3.8%, and traffic was up 3.6% to last year. Seeing our growth fueled by traffic is especially encouraging, as it shows guests are picking Target more often. That progress reflects the commitment and care of Team Target, and I’m grateful to teams across the business for how they’re bringing our strategy to life and helping build a stronger Target. Sustained growth is earned one quarter at a time, and there’s important work ahead. I’m confident in the path we’re on and in the team that's moving it forward. https://lnkd.in/gurPuZmy

We’re proud to be No. 29 on the 2026 PEOPLE’s 100 Companies That Care list. At Target, strengthening our team and the communities we serve comes to life every day: creating the conditions for team members to do their best work and grow, and showing up through the time and talent of our team and long-standing partnerships across the country. The recognition means a lot, especially knowing feedback from our own team members helps inform the list. As Target builds for its next chapter of growth, we’re committed to continuing that work and creating more opportunities for our team and communities.

Bringing together local talent, Target leaders and career stories made for a meaningful night of connection in the Twin Cities. For Tiffany, who once took a leap of her own by moving to Minneapolis, it was also a reminder of where new opportunities and great people can lead. #TeamTarget #TwinCities #CareerGrowth
There is something deeply grounding about connecting with local talent across the Twin Cities. It serves as an incredible reminder of the sheer passion, creativity, and drive that surrounds us right here in our community. Reflecting on my own career and life recently, the biggest leaps forward always started with a simple choice: believing in myself and being brave enough to step into the unknown. Tonight, I had the privilege of spending an evening with Braden Rhem and Paul Willis connecting with amazing professionals and sharing Target’s story alongside our own personal career journeys—highlighting what we’ve accomplished and the incredible opportunities that exist here. Being with Braden Rhem made the night extra special. We first met 20 years ago as student senators at Michigan State University - Eli Broad College of Business. Fast forward nearly two decades, and here we are—both having stayed, grown, and thrived at Target. Talk about a full-bullseye moment! Moments like this reinforce why I love what I do. It’s about the people, the shared growth, and the endless possibilities when you take a chance on yourself. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to take your next big leap: trust your instincts, put yourself out there, and know that you are capable of far more than you may realize. You are brave! 💡 P.S. If you’re in the Twin Cities area (or beyond!) and interested in a career in Merchandising, reach out! We are always looking to build the best team in retail and lead with merchandising authority. I’d love to connect. Paul Willis Braden Rhem Jeff Koppmann Berit Bauer Mariam Kocharian #TwinCities #Leadership #CareerGrowth #Target #Merchandising #RetailCareers #Networking #BelieveInYourself

Meet Proxima, Target’s digital twin technology that helps our teams test inventory decisions before putting them into practice. From improving on-shelf availability for fresh food to modeling inventory flow for new facilities, Proxima is helping teams identify issues earlier, test new approaches and move forward with greater confidence. Learn how we’re using technology to make smarter decisions and create a more reliable Target run for guests: https://lnkd.in/e9detmfH #TeamTarget #TargetTech #SupplyChain

For 30 years, our partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has been rooted in showing up for families and communities with care. Proud of our Memphis team members for bringing that commitment to life through moments of joy, connection and service alongside St. Jude and Clean Memphis. #TeamTarget #Partnership #GreatPeople
In my 25 years with Target, I’ve learned the strongest partnerships are built over time. In communities, that means listening closely, showing up consistently and learning together. For 30 years, Target has worked alongside St. Jude Children's Research Hospital leaders and families. Last week’s Bullseye Bash brought that commitment to life in Memphis, with Team Target creating games, activities and moments of joy for patients and families. Seeing the smiles, laughter and moments of connection throughout the day was a powerful reminder that even small moments of joy can make a meaningful difference for families facing extraordinary challenges. Our time in Memphis also included volunteering with Project Green Fork at Clean Memphis. Together, we packed and sorted hundreds of pounds of food, supporting Project Greek Fork’s incredible work to reduce food waste and help ensure good food reaches families who need it. Thank you to Community Captain Royesha Goodman and every Memphis team member who showed up with care and heart. From creating moments of joy at St. Jude to serving alongside local community partners, you showed what it means to strengthen families and communities together.
