Target Tags onto Prime Day with One-Day Sale

MINNEAPOLIS, MN - Target is kicking off a day promising dozens of deals in multiple departments to online shoppers on July 17, a day also dubbed “Prime Day” by Amazon.
Spanning home, kitchen gadgets, beauty, toys, electronics, and more, the retailer noted in an announcement that guests who spend $100 or more will receive a free six-month membership for same-day delivery, shopped by Shipt. Aside from the discounted membership on its recently-acquired grocery delivery arm, the retailer did not note specific deals for its grocery department in the event like that of Amazon’s inclusion of Whole Foods Market.
The Target.com one-day sale will begin early in the morning (the retailer did not note a specific time) on Tuesday, July 17, and run through 11:59 p.m. CT.
