Target makes major changes to your business so you don’t even have to leave your car – check to see if your business is included

TARGET has made a change in hundreds of locations that will make some of your shopping experience easier and you don’t even have to enter the store.

Some of the department store retailer’s customers may notice that there is a Starbucks in a local store.

That’s because Target has had a partnership with the coffee chain since 1999, with more than 1,700 coffee shops in their stores across the country.

Now Target makes it more convenient for tech-savvy customers where you don’t even have to leave your car.

At select locations, you can use the Target app to place an order and have Starbucks-sold food or beverages delivered to your car.

The new benefit, also known as curbside delivery, is free.

How it works

Through the Target app, you have to order from the Starbucks menu, select “Add for Drive Up,” then pay for it.

Once you’re ready to drive to a destination, you need to click “I’m on my way” for a barista to start preparing your order.

Once you arrive at the lot, you will need to park in one of the “drive-up” lots and tap “I’m here” on the app.

Shortly after, a member of staff should deliver your order to your car.

What stores use this?

Target’s Starbucks delivery service only launched this month, though it “tried out” the service over the summer.

To date, it is available in 240 stores in the following states:

• California
• Delaware
• Minnesota
• New Jersey
• Pennsylvania
• Texas
• Washington
• West Virginia

The Sun contacted Target for comment to see if there were any near-term plans to roll out the new curbside service elsewhere.

In a statement, Target said, “We will continue to improve the offering as we improve the service.”

A good indication that your store may have the feature is to load up the Starbucks app and browse nearby stores.

If a particular Target store says “Pre-Order Not Available,” it probably doesn’t have it yet.

Other Target perks

Keep in mind that Target has had widespread curbside pickup in all 50 states for years.

For example, you can do your grocery shopping and meet all your basic needs from clothes to electronics from your phone.

And it’s the same concept: as soon as you arrive, a member of staff will take your order to your car.

Using the Target app is also great for finding deals.

For example, Target is currently offering 20 percent off Starbucks cold brew items sold in its grocery department.

The retailer is also offering 15 percent off Good & Gather products, which are its own brand.

As always, offers and deals may vary by location.
