Following months of layoffs and a bungled [Canadian](https://time.com/3669007/target-canada-failed-expansion/) expansion—and two years after a massive customer credit card data breach—the company has decided to close 13 stores, including locations in Austin, Texas; Columbus, Ohio; Louisville, Kentucky; and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This follows another 11 store closures earlier this year. The chain has approximately 1,800 stores in the U.S. Blaming decreasing profitability, Target representatives say the 13 stores will close on January 30, 2016. "The decision to close a Target store is not made lightly. We typically decide to close a store after careful consideration of the long-term financial performance of a particular location," Target spokesperson Kristy Welker wrote in a statement.
