Amazon Opens Fresh, Its First Non-Whole Foods, Brick-and-Mortar Supermarket
Tumblr media
Amazon
Plus, Instacart is being sued by the DC attorney general, and more news to start your day
Apparently Amazon thought now was the time to pivot to “inside”
Last year, Amazon announced plans to open a line of grocery stores, and now, in the middle of a pandemic, the company has delivered on the threat/promise. Fresh, which opened in Woodland Hills, California yesterday, “is designed from the ground up to offer a seamless grocery shopping experience, whether customers are shopping in-store or online,” Jeff Helbling, VP of Amazon Fresh stores, told Progressive Grocer. But from the promotional video, it basically looks like Whole Foods, another Amazon property.
The main differences appear to be with expanded use of AI and monitoring technology. There are Alexa kiosks located around the store, a pick-up window for anyone who has made an online order, and the “Amazon Dash Cart,” which appears to automatically charge customers for whatever is in their carts when they walk through a specific lane. Fresh will also carry more conventional brands than Whole Foods.
There have been widespread complaints about the quality of Whole Foods going down since being acquired by Amazon, so shopping at Fresh is less about convenience and more about making sure customers do everything with Amazon. Gotta make sure Jeff Bezos, who added $35 billion to his net worth this year during a pandemic that has resulted in widespread unemployment and food insecurity, has more opportunities to profit!
And in other news...
