Target To Offer Same-Day Delivery

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — You may never have to leave your Hudson Valley home again if your local Target starts offering same-day home delivery. A recent press release from the Minneapolis-based retailer said it had acquired Shipt, an online same-day delivery platform. The purchase was for $550 million in cash.

Target, which has stores throughout the Hudson Valley, said it plans to “leverage its network of stores and Shipt’s proprietary technology platform and community of shoppers to quickly and efficiently bring same-day delivery to guests across the country,” according to the press release.

Target said the goal is to provide the service to customers at approximately half of its stores by early 2018.

The service will be offered from the majority of Target stores, and in all major markets, before the 2018 holiday season.

In Dutchess County, there is a store in Poughkeepsie. The Ulster County Target is located in Kingston. Newburgh, Middletown and Monroe have Targets in Orange County.

In Rockland County, there are Target stores in West Nyack and Spring Valley.

White Plains, Mount Kisco and Mount Vernon are where Target stores are located in Westchester County.

When the service launches, Target will offer same-day delivery of groceries, essentials, home, electronics and other products. Items being offered will expand over time.

The company said, by the end of 2019, same-day delivery will include all major product categories.
