Customers have responded in force to efforts by
Target to help them reduce exposure to the virus
through same-day store pick up for orders, and
also delivery. Same-day services increased 193%
during the November and December period, the
company said.
Even with the push online, Target’s 1,900
locations have become an even greater strength
as infections surged and people tried to stay
home. Drive-up service for shoppers grew the
fastest during the holiday season, the company
said, and about 95% all sales were fulfilled by
Target stores during the two-month period.
The Minneapolis company will report full fourth-
quarter financial results next month.
