Shoppers are heading back to Target. In addition to large-scale investments in technology - and a 32 percent increase in online sales - the big-box retailer said it's also seeing more customers shopping the old-fashioned way.

U.S. President Donald Trump once again unloaded on Amazon.com Inc., tweeting that the company is hurting other retailers and implying that it's killing industry jobs across the U.S.

Target Corp. - increasingly aware that shoppers want the things they buy online to arrive right away - is acquiring a San Francisco transportation technology company that facilitates same-day deliveries.

One of the hottest discount supermarket chains in the U.S. is partnering with Instacart to offer grocery delivery - a service once reserved primarily for high-end food retailers and high-income customers.

The pressure for speedy online package delivery is prompting companies to look for distribution facilities closer to residential areas or highways.
