"I'm told the Seattle store will be located at 23rd Avenue and Jackson Street, and Amazon is actively hiring for positions there; the Fresh format is the brick-and-mortar counterpart to Amazon’s online grocery, featuring aisles filled with national name brands, produce, meat, seafood, prepared items, and household wares. The store model uses plenty of monitoring technology — Alexa kiosks around the floor, a pick-up window for online orders, and the Amazon Dash Cart outfitted with sensors to automatically charge customers so they can skip the checkout line — though unlike Amazon Go Grocery, Fresh locations have human cashiers and appear to offer a wider inventory. Amazon did not reveal a timeline for this opening." - Gabe Guarente
