Target and Shipt Launch Same-Day Delivery in Indiana
May 31 2018 - 7:00AM
Shipt, a leading online delivery marketplace, and Target
Corporation (NYSE:TGT), today announced they will begin same-day
delivery of more than 55,000 groceries, essentials, home,
electronics, toys and other products to select Indiana metro areas.
Beginning June 14, delivery will be available in the following
metro areas: Evansville, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Kokomo,
Lafayette, Muncie and South Bend, Indiana.
Shipt delivery originally launched in Indiana with select
retailers in April 2017, and this expansion gives more than one
million households across the state access to same-day delivery of
products from their local Target store. This expansion is part of
the company’s growth throughout six Midwest states including:
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin. To
celebrate the expansion, new Shipt members who sign up prior to
June 14 will receive an annual membership for $49 (regularly $99)
and a $15 credit to spend on a Target order of $100 or more.
“Families across the Midwest have already embraced the
convenience of Shipt delivery. This regional expansion underscores
our continued mission to evolve the shopping experience through
personalization, increased product offerings and varied retailer
options,” said Harley Butler, chief marketing officer, Shipt.
“Through our app, our members have access to everything they need,
when they need it, right at their fingertips. Looking ahead, Shipt
will continue to expand and bring same-day delivery to a growing
number of households across the country.”
Founded in 2014 in Birmingham, Alabama, Shipt is committed to
simplifying its members’ lives by offering a new, convenient
same-day shopping experience. Shipt’s marketplace gives members the
ability to browse, search and shop the in-store assortment of
products online. Members can note preferences, choose a one-hour
delivery window and pay for their order, all within the app.
Shipt's expert team of shoppers takes care of selecting, bagging
and delivering the items. The annual membership grants access to
free, unlimited delivery on orders of more than $35.
“Same-day delivery was at the top of our list when we were
thinking about ways to make shopping at Target even easier,” said
John Mulligan, executive vice president and chief operating
officer, Target. “Shipt’s personalized, customer-focused approach
fits perfectly with our commitment to deliver a convenient,
exceptional experience and we’re excited to begin offering same-day
service across Indiana.”
To support the expansion, Shipt plans to add to its shopper
network throughout the state of Indiana. These shoppers will be

fulfillment of each order. To apply to be a Shipt Shopper, visit
