Target Cuts 260 Jobs as it Shuts Down Fulfillment Operations at Two Distribution Centers

Target is permanently closing the fulfillment operation at its Indianapolis regional distribution center, cutting 260 jobs. The layoffs include 145 warehouse associates, 15 inventory control and quality assurance workers, 10 lead warehouse workers, and 8 fulfillment operations managers. Most impacted employees have accepted new roles at the facility or nearby locations. The 1.4-million-square-foot building will remain open, with the mass merchant's regional replenishment operation not impacted. This is Target's second WARN notice in three months regarding warehouse job eliminations.
