Amazon has opened its first-ever Fresh grocery store in Los Angeles for in-person shopping.
The store, which opened this week, is currently starting off on an invite-only basis, but it will soon be ready for the public in the following weeks.
The Fresh store is stocked with groceries from national and local brands, as well as ready-made food like pizza.
The location is decked with Amazon’s Dash Carts which come with cameras and sensors. The smart shopping carts can instantly identify items and bill shoppers when they log in through the Amazon app.
This means that customers will not need to line up to make payments as they can automatically do so via the app. As an additional checkout option, though, there are cash counters available for customers who wish to pay the traditional way.
Introducing Amazon Fresh - our new grocery store in California - that offers fresh, delicious food and low prices to all.
