Target is ready to deliver an easy and joyful shopping experience this holiday season, with investments in our stores, same-day services, supply chain and most importantly, our team. This means guests can quickly cross everything off their shopping lists, grab amazing deals and discover only-at-Target gifts and brands while saving time for the best part of the holidays - celebrating with friends and family.
However guests get their Target run done, they will find a convenient shopping experience that works for them.
Guests can also take advantage of Target's fast and free Drive Up and Order Pickup services at their local store, with most purchases usually ready within two hours and no membership required.
Target also continues to enhance our industry-leading same-day services, including:
At any time of day, guests can also shop nearly the entire store on Target.com or the Target app. Behind the scenes, our team members at more than 4,400 pack stations in the back rooms of Target stores are prepping packages for shipping. That's where 95% of the items from all Target store and digital orders are fulfilled and center stage of our stores-as-hubs strategy.

This year, Target is delivering holiday packages the next day to even more neighborhoods thanks to continued investments in Target Last Mile Delivery capabilities across our sortation center network. We currently have 11 facilities across Minnesota, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, Georgia, Florida, Pennsylvania and Michigan, reaching approximately 60 million consumers. We also have our first Target Last Mile Delivery extension near Atlanta, a facility that extends our Georgia sortation center's reach. This scale demonstrates not only the success of our hyper-local and regional supply chain strategy, but also our ability to deliver everything guests need quickly and easily. This holiday season, Target expects our sortation centers to:
All of this is possible because of Team Target. To deliver the best service in the industry this holiday season, Target offers team members flexible work options through our On Demand team of nearly 45,000 stores team members. And to provide our team and guests with additional support, Target hires seasonal team members across our stores and supply chain. Like our existing team, seasonal team members have access to a robust total rewards program, including a market-leading starting wage ranging from $15 to $24 per hour, health and well-being benefits, opportunities for growth and development, flexible schedules, discounts on merchandise and more - in addition to the chance to experience Target's dynamic culture.
Our supply chain team has planned and prepped all year to ensure guest orders arrive on time and accurately this holiday season. Each package we process is an opportunity to deliver cheer to our guests' doorsteps - and it's a responsibility we approach with great care. I'm so thankful for all the work our teams continue to do to ensure an extraordinary guest experience during the holidays and beyond.
Our team is ready to make the holidays bright for millions of guests with easy and convenient shopping options that have the perfect gift ready in store, at curbside or at your front door. A huge thank you to every team member for bringing the best of Target to our guests at this magical time of year.
