What I noticed in my area - Target is pricing most produce not by pound but single piece (apples, pears, oranges etc.)
Whoever doesn't pay attention pays much higher price.
E.g.
Single apple for $1.39 is almost as much as price per pound. Those aren't very big apples...
Albertson's is doing the same thing where I live. I assume it's to make self-checkout scanning easier. A problem is the scanning sticker often falls off the item, especially onions.
What would a Target membership offer over the others? Target's prices are not competitive to begin with and everyone knows this. People shop there because it costs more to get away from the "People of Walmart" crowd.
Target doesn't have gas stations or vehicle partnerships. Target has Starbucks, so new discounts? Costco's pharmacy is lower in cost so... maybe a partnership with CVS? A partnership with Ulta for steep discounts?
I can only think of paying a membership to access the store late hours, like 9PM-11PM/12AM. I miss midnight Target runs.
The more I try to figure it out, the less it makes sense lol.

Honeycrisp are usually pretty decent sized apples. They're typically larger than Fuji and Gala, anyway.
I'd imagine Shipt has an upcharge over in-store prices as well?
Target is relaunching its Target Circle loyalty program to include a new paid membership option.
Target unveiled a series of steps at its annual investors’ meeting Tuesday that aim to rejuvenate sales and traffic.
One includes Target Circle 360, a paid loyalty program that includes unlimited free same-day delivery in as little as an hour for orders over $35.
The membership will be available at a special promotional price of $49 per year from April 7 through May 18, when it will then reportedly cost $99 per year.
Update on the membership:
Target is rolling out Target Circle 360 memberships starting April 7 for $49, with an increase to $99 on May 18, making it competitively priced compared with Amazon Prime and Walmart+.
