Target T-52

Target T-52, also known as Target Lake Street, is a Target discount department store located at 2500 East Lake Street in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The store opened August 4, 1976. This store is currently closed after it was damaged by rioting during the George Floyd protests, and plans to reopen in late 2020. In the wake of the protests, Ian Coldwater, a security engineer, alleged in a popular tweet that the store was "Target's experimental site for loss prevention & surveillance policies geared toward poor people," and described the location as being "consistently awful in different ways to all the other ones" as a result of the experiments. A spokesperson for Target denied that the location was used for such experiments.
