Target to Roll Out Disability-Friendly Self-Checkouts Nationwide ...

Target is adding accessible self-checkout features designed with input from the blind, including Braille and audio, in over 200 stores with a full rollout by early 2026.

  • MINNEAPOLIS — Target announced a first-of-its-kind accessible self-checkout experience nationwide, adding new technology to more than 200 stores as the initial rollout phase soon.
  • Target, in collaboration with the blind community and the National Federation of the Blind, designed the system with input from disability-focused staff and nearly two decades of accessibility efforts.
  • Features include Braille and high-contrast icons, headphone jack with adjustable volume, custom tactical controller, physical navigation buttons, and a dedicated information key.
  • The update aims to serve shoppers who are blind, have low vision or motor disabilities, and Target plans to expand the technology to nearly 2,000 stores soon.
  • While some retailers are removing self-checkouts, Target's Express Self-Checkout improved transaction times by about 8%, amid a 2022 ECR Retail Loss report finding 66% view them as problematic and a 2023 LendingTree survey reporting 15% admitted theft and 44% planning repeats.
