More to come from Amazon in grocery store retailing

Fresh Perspectives: Food shoppers’ high frequency offers the e-tail giant a huge opportunity to cross-sell more profitable products and keep consumers in its “ecosystem.”

The convenience-store concept from the retail giant has Just Walk Out technology, package-less returns and hub lockers.

Amazon has already deployed artificial intelligence at many of its brick-and-mortar stores through palm-recognition technology, smart shopping carts and so-called just-walk-out tech.

The announcement comes less than a week after Amazon released its Q2 earnings report, where Amazon CEO Andy Jassy explained that the expansion of the company’s delivery network will help grow its grocery businesses.
