Amid coronavirus fears, W. MI store hikes mask price

ALLENDALE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — When a shopper spotted individual dust masks going for $9.99 at an Allendale Township hardware store, she shared her frustration with Target 8.

“Price gouging has already begun … It looks like they took these facemasks out of their original packaging, packaged them in individual Ziploc bags and priced them at $9.99 apiece. What a rip-off!,” the tipster wrote.

Target 8 visited the store in question —True Value on M-45 — and found the $10 masks just as the tipster described them.

They usually sell as a box of 20 for $28.99.
