Amazon Fresh, the online and brick-and-mortar grocery store, announced its plans to open a location in Sacramento, California. This will be the first Fresh store in the Northern California area.
Amazon Fresh has roughly 20 locations across California and this new store, located in Elk Grove, will bring another option to hungry Sacramentans.
“We can confirm we are bringing an Amazon Fresh store to Elk Grove, California,” Griffin Buch, Public Relations Specialist, confirmed in a statement to FOX40.com. “[We] look forward to serving the community with high-quality grocery items at a great value.”
Amazon Fresh provides customers the option to avoid regular checkout lines by using the Amazon Dash Cart, technology that allows items to be scanned and weighed inside the basket as they shop, the report added.
We’re left to wonder if Amazon Fresh will consider a location closer to Sacramento’s downtown, as that seems to be the place with the most potential for customers seeking convenience.
In the meantime, it looks like Amazon Fresh is headed straight to the headquarters of Deli Market News! We will be here to continue covering the latest in retail, so stay tuned.
