Suppliers
Target works closely with suppliers around the world. We seek out new and innovative ways to deliver more value to our guests while strengthening the communities where we do business.
Our relationships with our suppliers are closely connected with the great shopping experiences we create for our guests. By building strong partnerships with suppliers for both retail and non-retail needs, our guests and suppliers can feel good about doing business with us.

Target Plus is a curated selection of products from third-party sellers on Target.com, designed to complement our current assortment. While Target Plus is currently an invite-only marketplace, we are continually looking for new options to bring to our guests through direct brand and authorized reseller partnerships.

Supplier Engagement
Supplier Engagement builds strong relationships and partnerships with a diverse range of business enterprises to deliver on Target’s strategic goals and objectives. Integrated into the business experience, Target is dedicated to engaging and empowering a diverse range of enterprises by offering strategic support, access, retail-relevant resources and innovative programming to unleash their full potential.
We support our partners by investing capital, opening access to new markets and sharing our expertise. And we show up and collaborate in a variety of other ways, too, creating networking and business-building opportunities, engaging in sponsorships, mentoring and more.
Creating memorable experiences
Our partnerships extend far beyond our products. Suppliers help us shape the Target experience on many levels, from general contractors building our stores to professionals providing technology support and much more. And we work with a variety of national organizations, programs and initiatives in communities across the country (and create events of our own) to uplift brands and businesses.

Construction Co., Inc. and Brenda Curry from Curtom-Dunsmuir Construction — two black-owned businesses that each have built multiple Target stores — and Lili Hall from Latina-owned KNOCK, inc., who helps create our in-store marketing, among many others.
