Target (Minneapolis) is planning to expand its curbside pick-up offerings this fall through some select locations, according to CNBC. New options through its Drive Up feature will include return services as well as pick-up options for Starbucks drink orders.

A Target spokesperson said the retailer will begin testing the concept with its employees before scaling the features to customers across the country. Through the pandemic, Target’s pick-up/curbside and home delivery options have become increasingly popular. Same-day online services, like its home delivery service Shipt, grew 60 percent in the third quarter.

Recently, the big box retailer began adding grocery and alcoholic beverage options to its Drive Up services.
