Amazon Plans to Open ‘Dozens’ of Non-Whole Foods Grocery Stores | Eater
"A planned chain of stand-alone supermarkets that will operate separately from the company's existing upscale grocery brand; the concept reportedly features smaller footprints than a traditional supermarket, will carry mainstream packaged snacks and sodas not typically found at the upscale chain, and could open dozens of locations in the coming years with an initial store targeted for Los Angeles by the end of the year. The rollout is expected to leverage lessons from prior grocery initiatives and private-label development, and may target vacant big-box sites such as former Kmart stores." - Erin DeJesus
