(Reuters) – Target Corp will invest $4 billion annually over the next several years to open more stores, upgrade existing ones and build-out its supply chain as the retailer tries to cement market share gains made during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The announcement on Tuesday comes after the company reported a 21% jump in holiday quarter revenue as same-day delivery and store pick-up services helped fulfill robust demand for home goods, toys and groceries during the health crisis.
