If there’s one good thing that came out of the pandemic, it’s learning that drive up shopping is the bees knees. While we initially used it to social distance, busy moms everywhere have seen the light: someone bringing your entire Target to your car is a must forever and always, please and thank you.
Luckily, our fave bullseye retailer has listened and is making some big changes this year. First, you will soon be able to add on your morning latte (or afternoon espresso) via a Starbucks Café order when picking up your normal order. That’s right: no more dragging the kids through the store to get your caffeine fix OR giving into their cries for cake pops.
As if that wasn’t exciting enough, Target also just announced it will introduce curbside returns, too! Soon, you’ll be able to use the drive-up spaces to return and exchange items without stepping foot inside the store.
Mark Schindele, Target’s chief stores officer shares, “Our guests continue to tell us they love the ease and convenience of Drive Up, and have been asking us to add even more of the Target experience to the service. Adding Starbucks ordering 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.”
While we are more than elated at the upcoming changes, most of them won’t be available until the fall of this year and only in select cities. Regardless, we’ll keep dreaming of a red-shirted angel in khaki pants handing us our afternoon pick-me-up until then.
