Why Target’s 2,000 Stores Are Its Biggest Asset Against Amazon and Walmart | WSJ Shipping Wars

Now it’s ramping up its shipping speed by investing $100 million in local sortation centers to keep up with companies with strong e-commerce like Amazon and Walmart. Target’s strategy is a big departure from how retailers typically fulfill online orders – using giant warehouses to ship packages across the country.
