How Acquiring Grand Junction Means Faster, More Efficient Home Deliveries For Target Guests

As part of our ongoing efforts to deliver faster and more conveniently for guests, Target has just announced plans to acquire Grand Junction, a technology company that helps retailers make deliveries faster and more efficiently. We sat down with Arthur Valdez, Target’s executive vice president, chief supply chain and logistics officer, and Rob Howard, CEO of Grand Junction, to learn more.

Why did Target decide to acquire Grand Junction?
Arthur: Target is transforming its supply chain and logistics capabilities so we can serve guests with more speed and convenience, while creating new offerings and services. Whether guests shop online or in a store, they expect to get products quickly and on their terms. With this acquisition, Target will have immediate access to Grand Junction’s technology and carrier network, which will accelerate the work we’re doing to improve our speed of delivery. It will also boost our ability to offer new services – like same-day delivery, and even assembly and installation – to our guests.

We’ve been working with Rob and his team on our same-day delivery pilot at our store in New York's Tribeca neighborhood. So we’ve already gotten a glimpse of what Grand Junction’s capabilities can do for our guests. We can’t wait to bring them onto the Target team to help meet our guests’ delivery needs nationwide.
