Target says it will spend $20 million to add private bathrooms after a boycott objecting to sharing public bathroom with transgender people.
There are about 1,800 U.S. Target stores, and all but 300 already have the single occupancy bathrooms available. All but about 25 of those stores should have the new bathrooms by the end of the year, and the remaining stores should get them early in 2017, Boylan said.
The retailer reported disappointing sales and cut its forecast on future sales Wednesday morning, sending its stock lower.
