Online delivery app Shipt announced Tuesday that it will soon start delivering beer and wine from Target to local customers' doorsteps.
Shipt also delivers for Hy-Vee, CVS and other stores in Lincoln, but alcohol delivery will only be available from Target.
Those wanting alcohol delivery from Shipt must prove they are 21 by showing a valid ID at delivery.
The company originally said alcohol delivery had started in Lincoln, but it later backtracked and said that while delivery is planned, it does not have an exact date yet.
Shipt joins several other companies that have announced plans for alcohol delivery in Lincoln and/or Nebraska.
Hy-Vee, for which Shipt also delivers, said last month that it will start alcohol delivery in Lincoln and Omaha this summer after it opens a new distribution center in Sarpy County. Hy-Vee plans to do the delivery through its own online service.
