Service Allows Target Drive-Up Customers To Order From Starbucks

TAMPA, FL — Picking up your favorite Starbucks Coffee Co. menu item while shopping at Target just got easier thanks to a new add-on option to the drive-up services that are now available at Tampa Bay area Target stores with Starbucks cafes located inside.

Target's free drive-up service will allow guests in Tampa to add their favorite Starbucks handcrafted beverages and food items to their drive-up order and have it delivered straight to their cars along with other items ordered through Target's free curbside service.

The new service builds upon Target’s more than 20-year partnership with Starbucks and is the latest example of Target’s continued investment in same-day services, delivering what guests need and crave quickly and easily.

According to Target, the service has been popular with guests in other markets where it’s launched. In fact, the three top-selling items for "Drive Up with Starbucks" are the Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, Birthday Cake Pop and Iced Caramel Macchiato.

Starbucks expects other fan favorites this fall to include Pumpkin Spice Latte

By October, all 1,700-plus Target stores that have a Starbucks Café and offer drive-up will have the "Drive Up with Starbucks" service.

How it works

After placing a drive-up order at a participating Target store and receiving notification that it’s ready, a guest will indicate they are en route with the Target app. Then:

1. The guest will receive a prompt to place an order from the Starbucks full menu. Upon making their Starbucks selections, they will click “Add for Drive Up” and pay for the order.

2. Once the guest completes the drive-up check-in process and indicates “I’m on my way,” a Starbucks barista located within the participating Target store prepares the order. This includes packaging food and beverage items to ensure their safe transport, such as drink stoppers to securely seal lid openings.

3. The guest parks in the designated drive-up parking area and taps “I’m here” in the Target app. A Target team member then delivers the freshly prepared Starbucks order — along with the guest’s other drive-up purchase — to their cars.
