Shipt could hire an estimated 881 new employees as part of an expansion of its Birmingham headquarters.

That's according to documents from the city's Joint Budget and Finance Committee.

Shipt is seeking incentives from the city of Birmingham and Jefferson County to grow and maintain its headquarters in the Magic City.

The grocery delivery service, which was acquired for $550 million by Target last year, is requesting up to $1.762 million from the city for reimbursement of costs associated with attracting talent.

Shipt is also seeking an amount not to exceed $720,000 from Jefferson County to maintain and grow its headquarters in the county. The incentive would be paid in three annual installments.

Birmingham's incentives would come from the city's newly developed Talent Investment Program, Talent Acceleration Program and Talent Optimization Program.

The city's incentives would be paid over a term of up to five years on a basis of $2,000 for each new employee. The incentive payments would be capped at $800,000 for the first year, and the remainder following.

According to the legal notice published in the Birmingham News, the city of Birmingham would offer the incentives as a reimbursement of costs incurred by Shipt "related to the attraction of talent in tough-to-recruit occupations and the development and promotion of full-time employees, in consideration of the company maintaining and growing its headquarters in the city."

Neither Shipt or the city have no commented on the expansion plans. Founded in Birmingham in 2014, Shipt delivers to more than 70 markets using a network of 20,000 shoppers to fulfill orders.
