![]() ![]() On March 1, Richard Gomez, Target’s chief food and beverage officer, told investors that Target is “going to make our entire experience, in-store and online, accessible to all families, allowing them to shop on their terms regardless of how they pay for their groceries”. The company this month said it was looking to expand grocery sales, especially through private-label sales. In 2020, it accounted for 20 percent of the company’s overall sales of $92.4bn, putting it in competition with the 10 largest US grocers, including Kroger and Albertsons. ![]() Grocery is a big part of Target’s operations. “I wouldn’t call it a game-changer, but I think it is important,” Klink added. “But maybe at some point you won’t depend on food stamps and you’ll remember that Target was there for your various shopping needs.” “Target is kind of taking the long view, saying you can use your food stamps now,” he said. Accepting food-stamp payments online could build customer loyalty and help it sell other products, said David Klink, senior equity analyst at Huntington Private Bank, which holds over $30m in Target shares. Still, even though Target has lost the early mover advantage, investors and industry watchers were positive on the move. Grocery delivery service Instacart also offers the option. Walmart and Amazon already accept purchases with food stamps on their websites since 2019 as part of a programme with the US Department of Agriculture, which distributes food stamps. Offering food-stamp payment for online orders could help Target fill a long-time gap in its e-commerce strategy and reach households that might otherwise purchase groceries at so-called “dollar store” chains, or at Walmart. A Target spokesman said Thursday that it hadn’t “shared any official launch date” for the service, which also will include drive-up and pick-up orders. Target disclosed to Reuters news agency last week that it will begin to accept payment online with food stamps, tentatively starting in late April, through a service offered by Shipt, its delivery arm.
