Grocery delivery company Shipt has announced its largest expansion in three years, adding nearly 1,000 more store locations that its contract workers will service, and enlarged its coverage area to include more customers.
As a result, the Target-owned company has the potential to reach 2 million additional households across the United States, with Atlanta, Los Angeles, Seattle and Charlotte, N.C., markets among the markets seeing the most noticeable impact.
"This is the first time Shipt has expanded this way," said Bridget Fruit, chief operating officer for Shipt, in a statement. "Over the years, Shipt has launched one city at a time or rolled out a new retail partner nationwide, but this exciting coast to coast expansion is unlike anything we've done before."
This time, Shipt worked with retail partners such as CVS and Bed, Bath & Beyond to identify their locations that could benefit from the delivery service.
For example, Shipt's service is now available at more than 200 additional CVS locations.
Shipt has grown in leaps and bounds since the onsest of the pandemic and is now available in more than 5,000 metros in the country.
Minneapolis-based Target reported in August that Target orders for Shipt grew 20% on top of more than 60% growth in the second quarter of last year.
In the past year, Shipt launched more than 30 new partnerships with retailers.
