T arget Spending $20 million on Single - stall R estrooms
Big - box retailer Target will add single - stall bathr ooms at all of its stores where
that option is not currently offered, reflecting a direct response to the debate
that erupted earlier this year over its new transgender - bathroom policy.
Target Chief Financial Officer Cathy Smith told reporters Wednesday th at the
company would invest $20 million to add single - stall bathrooms.
Target is not altering its transgender bathroom policy, which allows people to
"use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender
identity." That policy, anno unced this spring, drew opposition from some
conservative activists who vowed to boycott the chain.
The company already had single - stall bathrooms that anyone can use at about 1,400 of its 1,800 stores, Target
spokesperson Katie Boylan said. She said Targe t decided to add single - stall, lockable bathrooms in all of its
s tores "because we're listening."
"We get it. Some like it. So me don 't. We're committed to offering a welcoming environment for everyone ," says
Boylan.
