The retailer's service gives customers the
option to pay a yearly $98 fee, or a monthly $12.95 fee, to get
grocery orders. The service will be available in more than 1,600
stores in the U.S. and over 50% of the country by the end of the
year.
In June, Target Corp <TGT.N> expanded its same-day delivery
using Shipt, the membership-based grocery delivery platform it
bought in 2017, to its online members, where customers pay an
annual fee of $99 or $9.99 per order.
Walmart began piloting "unlimited" grocery delivery service in
four markets – Houston, Miami, Salt Lake City and Tampa earlier
this year, and said it employs more than 45,000 shoppers to run
the service.
