Yes. Minneapolis is the only US market where Target (Brooklyn Park DC) and Best Buy (Richfield/Bloomington area) both operate major regional distribution infrastructure in the same metro — and both companies' Q4 surges hit simultaneously. GigSmart can supply pick/pack workers, forklift operators, and general warehouse associates on a same-day or scheduled basis for either operation. That simultaneous peak is exactly why a flexible staffing platform — rather than a fixed temp agency queue — is the right tool here.

Both Shakopee and Rogers are covered by GigSmart as part of the Twin Cities metro. Shakopee (home to the Amazon FC) and Rogers (fast-growing I-94 corridor industrial park) both have active worker populations already commuting into those submarkets. Post your shift with the exact facility address in Shakopee or Rogers, and Smart Hire surfaces workers closest to that location first. Same-day fill rates are strongest for general warehouse and pick/pack roles — post with as much lead time as possible for forklift-certified positions.

This is the Twin Cities' toughest staffing problem: Target, Best Buy, and Amazon DCs surge simultaneously in the same metro from October through December, compressing the certified forklift operator pool more than in almost any other US market. GigSmart's marketplace model means you compete on shift quality — pay rate, location, timing — rather than waiting in a staffing agency dispatch queue. Posting with a competitive pay rate and 24–48 hours of lead time for forklift roles gives you the strongest fill results during October–December.
