Amazon in December also showed off a short video for Amazon Go, a convenience store without cashiers that's also in beta.ĪmazonFresh Pickup is the company's way of getting a foothold in "click and collect" groceries so it can expand in the $800 billion US grocery market, where it's been slow to grow. The new stores are part of Amazon's effort to grow its physical retail presence, with the company opening bookstores, campus pickup locations and mall popups. In comparison, AmazonFresh, the company's long-standing grocery delivery service, costs $15 per month to join and includes a $10 charge for orders under $40. The stores in Seattle's SODO and Ballard neighborhoods, which were expected for months during construction and permitting, are free to use, with no minimum orders. The company said orders can be picked up in as little as 15 minutes after an order is placed. Amazon workers will select and bag orders for them, then bring them to customers' cars at reserved times. The company didn't say when the two stores in Seattle will open to the public, but the locations will only be available for Prime members.Ĭustomers will be able to order online or on mobile from thousands of items, including produce, meats, dairy and everyday essentials. The stores are still in beta, with only Amazon employees able to use them. Amazon on Tuesday showed off a quick video and landing page for its newest store concept: grocery pickup locations.
