Yes it is!

Sounds good. I hope there will be one in my area.

Sounds like competition for Walmart.

Perfect store to take over the building left vacant by Sears at the mall next to me.

I read they are opening more GROCERY stores... not Whole Foods.

They aren't stores to go shopping around in. It looks like these Amazon Pop-Up stores around the country are for only selling Amazon devices ... Echo, Alexa, Kindle, etc., with sales people to promote their electronics.
And then there are also some book stores.

Yes, there is an article in the Wall Street Journal about it which I haven't read yet.

It's clear that, for one reason or another, Amazon believes in the future of physical retail. That's why the company is reportedly planning to open "dozens" of new grocery stores across the country, each around 35,000 square feet in size - and no, they won't be Whole Foods locations.It's not clear what branding the stores will carry, but the leases for some locations have already been signed. Some cities that Amazon may be planning to expand to include San Francisco, Chicago, Washington DC, and others.​

SupermarketGuru.com. is a very good site to view for a number of reasons.​

Amazon is opening up actual physical locations around the country. They're called Pop Up Stores. I'm not sure if they have the Amazon Go technology or not.

What happens if you walk in without a phone?

 

[Snowbound]

Has to make you wonder how many more mom and pop stores will be put out of business. Honestly, I miss the personal touch of small neighborhood stores.

 

[fmdog44]

Shopping malls are rotting from within. In the not too distant future there is going to be a lot of baron real estate.

I don't know but that only accounts for you and I. Besides us (and my wife), the rest
of the planet will have a phone to their ear or on a slow talking day, in their pocket.
