Target expands Google Express partnership
Target is expanding its partnership with Google Express to offer home delivery coverage nationally across the US. In a statement issued last week, Target said: “The expansion of Google Express follows Target’s successful trial of the home delivery shopping service in California and New York City. By expanding Google Express nationally, more guests will be able to shop Target’s assortment, including exclusive brands that are only available at Target. And since items are shipped from a nearby Target store, guests will receive their orders in just two days.”
Mike McNamara, Target’s chief information and digital officer, commented: “In the markets where we’ve offered Google Express, guests tell us they love the ease and convenience of shopping Target through Google. So we’re excited to offer this service nationwide in time for the busy holiday season.”
The Google Express/Target service will include voice- activated shopping, as well as the addition of Target REDcard as a payment option in 2018.
