The company has expanded its chain of Amazon Go stores to 25 locations in major US cities and will soon open a larger, 10,000-square-foot version in Seattle. But so far, the Go stores haven’t been the sensation some analysts expected when Amazon revealed the concept. — Chicago Tribune/TNS
The US$800bil (RM3.31tril) grocery industry is keeping a sharp eye on a strip mall in the Woodland Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. There, sandwiched between a nail salon and a bank branch, Amazon.com Inc is working on the first in a new chain of grocery stores set to open this year.
The company has kept construction inside the store firmly under wraps, and, until now, no one has peeked in on Amazon’s latest plan to upend how food is sold. Based on never-before-seen photos of the facility at 6245 Topanga Canyon Blvd, as well as planning documents filed with the city, the store looks remarkably conventional – with a few Amazon-style flourishes.
