Target is fixing the most annoying part of shopping there

The company is creating two separate entrances: one for shoppers who have limited time and only need to pick up a few items, and the other for people who want to leisurely browse the store.
The quick-trip entrance will offer customers easy access to a newly designed grocery department, a wine-and-beer shop, self-checkout lines, and a pickup counter for online orders - all "within steps from each other," according to the company.
The new grocery department will feature "woodgrain fixtures, a robust assortment of fresh produce as well as quick grab-and-go options and meal solutions," the company said.
The chain will also have convenient parking spaces outside the entrance, with some dedicated to online pickup orders. If customers park in the online pickup spots, Target employees will deliver their orders to their vehicles.
Target
Shoppers today tend to visit several stores to complete their shopping lists, whereas in the past, shoppers preferred to visit only one store for everything they purchased.
That has made convenience for so-called "fill-in" trips more important than ever before.
Target
About 40 stores will be updated, many with the two-entrance design, by October. Eventually, Target is planning to update 500 stores with the new design over the next two years.
