The new Target Drive Up curbside pickup options are being launched by the retailer in a bid to provide shoppers with access to more features than ever.
The retailer listened to customer feedback and will be enhancing same-day pickup services later this year by implementing Starbucks coffee order pickups as well as product returns. The company will start testing out the curbside options starting in the fall in select markets where customers can simply use the Target app to order their coffee or schedule a return.
Chief Stores Officer at Target March Schindele commented on the new Target Drive Up curbside pickup options saying, "Our guests continue to tell us they love the ease and convenience of Drive Up, and they have been asking us to add even more of the Target experience to the service. Adding a Starbucks order and easy returns, while expanding our backup item options, will give guests even more of what they love about shopping at Target, quickly and easily."
