Amazon.com Inc on Aug 27 said it is opening a supermarket in Los Angeles with shopping carts that let customers skip checkout lines, as the e-commerce company builds out its offline presence.
The market, in the Woodland Hills neighbourhood, is called the Amazon Fresh grocery store. It is the first location to let customers in – by invitation only – out of seven that Amazon has confirmed for Southern California and greater Chicago. The Woodland Hills site will open to the wider public in coming weeks, Amazon said.
