Target plans to open more than six additional sortation centers by end of 2026

In a post to its corporate news site, Target stated: "Our team is continuously evaluating ways to increase operational efficiencies and in turn, deliver what our guests need and want, when they want it… Target currently has nine sortation centers open in Minnesota, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, Georgia and Pennsylvania. Just last month, we opened new sortation centers in the Chicago and Denver markets. Since the start of our sortation center operations, these facilities have helped to increase the number of orders delivered to guests the next day by more than 150%… We’re expanding our next-day delivery capabilities to guests across major U.S. markets through a $100 million planned investment to scale our flexible, best-in-class sortation center network to more than 15 facilities by the end of 2026. Through this investment, we plan to open more than six additional sortation centers by the end of 2026… Sortation centers are expected to double their delivery volume to more than 50 million packages in 2023, with a growing number of items delivered to guests the next day. The use of sortation centers will also support our store team members as they meet the needs of our guests – whether they shop in-store or online – quicker and more efficiently." Reference Link
