Recently rumors have been swirling around on the internet that the popular retailer would be switching to a membership only model in 2025 and was grooming their customers for the switch with new membership plans they are now offering at their stores.

ABC News reported that Target is looking into ways to stop their decline in revenue, and that paid memberships will be the company's main weapon to combat the loss.
