It’s Going to Be So Much Easier for Target Shoppers to Enjoy Starbucks—Here’s Why
Updated: Aug. 15, 2023
Ordering some home essentials for pickup? Might as well add a latte to your order too!
I’m not saying I look for reasons to visit Target … but I might look for reasons to visit Target. Given all its adorable decor and ultimate home essentials, Target is truly my go-to store, for so many things. And you know what the absolute best part about walking through those sliding doors is? The fact that I can pick up my favorite Starbucks Peppermint Mocha and enjoy it while I’m shopping. Best day ever.
We already love Target and Starbucks for many reasons, and yet they find ways to make us love them even more. Now these two powerhouses are teaming up to bring us drive-up coffee delivery, and we’re here for it.
How does Target Drive Up work?
If you’re a Target shopping fiend (or a grocery pickup lover), you may already have an idea how this will work. Here’s what you’ll need to do:
- Start by using your Target app to create your order. Along with your regular Target pickup order, you’ll be able to place a Starbucks coffee order from a complete Starbucks menu.
- While you’re on the way to pick up your Target order, Starbucks baristas will be preparing your coffee order.
- When you get to your Target location, you’ll pull into a Drive Up spot and use the app to alert the Target employees that you’ve arrived.
- A Target employee will bring out your Starbucks order along with your Target Drive Up order.
Yes, it’s absolutely genius, and just one way grocery shopping online continues to evolve and help us stay sane in our busy lives.
Where is the service available?
Right now, 240 Target locations in California, Minnesota, Delaware, New Jersey, Washington, Pennsylvania, Texas and West Virginia have this service available. Target will be rolling out the service, which they’ve been working on since 2021, to all 1,700-plus locations with both a Starbucks Café and Drive Up option. Look for them in early October. Drive Up coffee, here we come!
