We’re putting next-day delivery within reach of even more guests with the debut of our newest supply chain facility, the Target Last Mile Delivery (TLMD) extension.
Think of the TLMD extension as a steppingstone that extends our sortation center’s reach to guests outside its delivery radius. Local, pre-sorted packages transfer from the sortation center to the TLMD extension, where team members stage them for pickup and next-day delivery by drivers on the Shipt platform to additional neighborhoods.
Our first TLMD extension recently opened near our store in Smyrna, Georgia — at a fraction of the cost of a full-size sortation center. It has already had an immediate impact, increasing the number of people we can serve with TLMD by over 30%. This puts our next-day delivery within reach of 500,000 additional guests, for a total of more than 3 million in the Atlanta market.
