Further, many retail companies such as Walmart, Target, and IKEA are taking initiatives to expand their last mile delivery operations. In July 2023, Target Corporation revealed that it is developing a concept allowing the retailer to reduce the load of next-day delivery in stores while expanding its reach deeper into faster-growing suburban areas. The retailer created a Target Last Mile Delivery (TLMD) extension in Atlanta, US. At this bare-bones sortation facility, workers pass off online orders that originated in stores to Shipt drivers. In 2017, the retailer spent US$ 550 million on Shipt, a startup that employs contractors to shop and deliver groceries from Target shops on the same day. Shipt also works with CVS, OfficeMax, and Sephora. Target stated that the TLMD expansion test in Smyrna, Georgia, increased the reach of its next delivery service by 30%, or 500,000 new customers, to a potential market of 3 million in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Such investment, acquisition, and business expansion activities are catering to the growing demand and developing solid networks throughout the US, ultimately driving the last mile delivery market as companies can cater to the large customer base.
