Target investing $100 million in micro-fulfillment centers
Target uses its almost 2,000 stores to deliver 95% of its online orders. Now it’s ramping up its shipping speed by investing $100 million in local micro-fulfillment centers to keep up with companies with strong e-commerce like Amazon and Walmart. Target’s strategy is a big departure from how retailers typically fulfill online orders - using large warehouses to ship packages across the country.
