Consumers in the United States now have a faster alternative to receive their purchases at home. Target announced the expansion of its next-day delivery service for online orders to new strategic markets. The move aims to make holiday shopping easier, offering greater speed and convenience.
According to the company, by the end of October, customers in 35 major metropolitan areas will be able to receive their items the next day, often at no extra cost. In addition, the retailer plans to add more regions in 2026, thanks to its “stores as distribution centers” model, which allows orders to be fulfilled more quickly and cost-effectively.
