Target to end price match policy — and customers are seeing red. ‘Not a good move'
Target is planning to ditch its competitor price match policy, a decision that has some customers seeing red. Starting July 28, the retail giant said it will only offer price matching between Target stores and a company spokesperson confirmed to McClatchy News. For more than a decade, Target's 'price match guarantee' allowed customers to match the price of identical items sold at a lower price by Walmart and Amazon, in addition to its own stores, according to its website. For example, customers could match prices on in-store purchases, and vice versa. Prices can be matched at the time of purchase or within 14 days, Target said. 'We've found our guests overwhelmingly price match Target and not other retailers, which reflects the great value and trust in pricing that consumers see across our assortment and deals,' a Target spokesperson told McClatchy News in a statement July 21. The Minneapolis-based retailer launched its price match policy in 2013 in a move then-CEO Gregg Steinhafel said would offer shoppers an 'unbeatable value,' CBS News reported. The new policy will allow customers to 'continue to shop with confidence,' the Target spokesperson said. A notice shared in stores also cited 'guest feedback' for the changes, which have drawn the ire of some shoppers. 'I used to shop at Target a lot,' one person wrote on Reddit. 'Not anymore. This is ridiculous, and not a good move.' 'What, do guests not like saving money?' wrote another. 'I'd price match Amazon or Walmart at times and then use my discount (yes this follows policy),' another shopper posted on Reddit, adding: 'Well, I'll just buy less or buy it where it's cheaper.' The changes comes as Target struggles with lagging sales, due in part to ongoing fallout over the company's decision to roll back its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, as reported by KCRA and CNN. The company also pointed to backlash over LGBTQ-themed items offered at stores during Pride Month in 2023. First-quarter sales this year dipped nearly 4 percent as the retailer 'navigated a highly challenging environment,' Target CEO Brian Cornell said in an earnings report published in May. '...We're not satisfied with current performance and know we have opportunities to deliver faster progress on our roadmap for growth,' Cornell said. Target was the last to continue offering a price match guarantee on items from competitors, according to NewsNation. Walmart doesn't offer price matching for rival retailers — only online and in-store purchases, its website says. Amazon currently does not offer price matching.

Stillwater: Community development director is hired
Jason Zimmerman, interim community development director in Stillwater, is dropping the 'interim' from his title. Zimmerman, who has served as the city's part-time interim community development director since February, has been hired for the permanent position. He will be transitioning to the new position during the rest of July and August and will start full-time Sept. 2. His salary will be $158,538. Zimmerman, 52, of Minneapolis, has worked as a planner for HKGi since January 2024. He previously worked as the planning manager and as a planner for Golden Valley. Stillwater City Administrator Joe Kohlmann said Zimmerman impressed officials with his 'can-do attitude' and ability to 'address issues head-on.' 'Jason is an articulate professional who has demonstrated a strong commitment to the betterment of Stillwater,' Kohlmann said. 'He gets along very well with coworkers, elected officials, and members of the public.' Zimmerman grew up in Waconia, Minn., a rural community west of Minneapolis, and said 'Stillwater has that same small-town feel, but with an oversized impact on the surrounding area due to its history and draw for visitors.' 'I'm looking forward to helping capture that enthusiasm and sense of pride as we work to update and improve policies, procedures, and a shared vision for the future,' he said. 'Stillwater seems poised to cement itself as a premiere city, and I'm excited to be a part of that.' Zimmerman has a master's degree in city planning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a bachelor's degree in economics from Carleton College. In his spare time, he enjoys running ultra-marathons — '50 miles, 100 miles and even some that are over 100 miles,' he said. 'The longest distance I've ever run at one time is 180 miles. That was in Moab, Utah. That took a little more than four days. There was some sleep sprinkled in there.' He and his wife, Amie DeHarpporte, have four children and numerous household pets. Tim Gladhill, who previously held the position, left Stillwater in August 2024 to become community development director in Brooklyn Park. Danette Parr, the community development director in Maplewood, was hired in November to do the job; she resigned effective Dec. 31. Parr, who returned to her job in Maplewood, said Monday that Stillwater 'wasn't the fit (she) was looking for and, unfortunately, sometimes you just don't know that until you get there.'
