Weis Markets announced that it will rollout same-day delivery via Shipt beginning on September 6 in 11 markets throughout Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. Shipt, based in Alabama and owned by Target, said the rollout will give nearly 2.6 million households access to products delivered from Weis in as soon as one hour.
The same-day service will serve as another online option for Wies customers, as the supermarket chain already has its Weis 2 Go click-and-collect grocery service available at about 90 stores. Weis operates 2016 stores in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, West Virginia and Virginia.

Target posts best quarter in over a decade
Target announced this week that the company's second quarter results were its strongest in more than a decade, fueled by a 6.5% same-store sales increase, as well as a 6.4% increase in customer traffic.
Last year Target began implementation of a strategy that earmarked $7 billion to improve digital operations, expand private label collections, lower prices and remodel stores. The retailer also opened smaller store formats in big cities and near college campuses.
Target's 2017 purchase of Shipt has paid off as well, as digital sales grew 41% last quarter as compared to a year ago.
According to COO and Executive Vice President John J. Mulligan, "Over the last year, Shipt's membership base has more than tripled, while orders, revenue and gross merchandise volume are two-to-three times higher."
Total revenue for the quarter reached $17.8 billion, a 6.9% increase compared to the same quarter a year ago.

Target ramping up CapEx, small-format stores, e-commerce efforts
Target announced earlier this week that it plans to spend about $3.5 billion on capital expenditures in 2018 (compared to $2.5 billion last year) as it accelerates investments in store remodels, small-store formats and other initiatives.
The company also reported that the investments will likely have an adverse affect on profit margins. Target execs said that they expect to generate a lower operating margin in the near term as they continue to increase wages and upgrade its stores and supply chain to better accommodate its growing e-commerce business.
Regarding Target's e-commerce efforts, the company unveiled free two-day shipping on hundreds of thousands of items and plans to offer same-day delivery through Shipt, which it acquired last year, in most major markets by the end of this year.
Shipt is currently available to deliver from 455 Target stores. Target said Shipt also plans to continue to expand its partnerships with other retailers, including Costco, Publix and others.
Following up on the "nearly 30" small-format stores opened in 2017, Target said it plans to open about 30 more in 2018 and another 30 in 2019.
