"Target introduces curbside returns to enhance customer convenience and sales."
Target is expanding its curbside-returns service to all of its nearly 2,000 stores nationwide by the end of summer. The move is part of the retailer's efforts to retain customers and boost sales amid a potential slowdown. Target's curbside-pickup service, Drive Up, has been a significant sales driver for the company's e-commerce business. Click-and-collect sales in the US grew from 6% of overall e-commerce sales in 2019 to 11% in 2022, according to Euromonitor. Target hopes that convenient perks like curbside returns will boost customer loyalty and jolt sales.
