Amazon to Launch Whole Foods Online-Only Store
Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) is increasingly focused on the high-volume grocery category, and it's launching its first online-only fulfillment center for its Whole Foods subsidiary. The store will be located in the Sunset Park section of Brooklyn, New York.
Amazon's grocery sales tripled year over year in the second quarter ended July 31. While Amazon is working hard on fulfilling grocery orders for lots of new customers who came on board during the pandemic, this new Whole Foods store has been in the works for over a year. The retail king has already hired hundreds of workers to staff the store, which will exclusively service customers in the Brooklyn area with grocery delivery.
