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.
