Amazon has opened a new small-format grocery store in the One Chicago Building at 14 W. Superior St., complementing the existing Whole Foods Market nearby. According to spokesperson Jessica Martin, this initiative aims to enhance the shopping experience by allowing customers to access both organic products from Whole Foods and a wider selection from Amazon in one visit, ultimately saving time and money.
Amazon is attempting to attract additional grocery customers by piloting a new small-format grocery store in a River North skyscraper that already houses a Whole Foods Market location.
A new, Amazon-branded small-format grocery store opened in the One Chicago Building, 14 W. Superior St., where a Whole Foods Market operates, Amazon spokesperson Jessica Martin confirmed to NBC Chicago.
““We’re always looking for ways to make it easier for customers to shop for groceries, whether online or in store,” Martin said in the statement, in part. “With this new concept, customers can shop their favorite natural and organic products at Whole Foods Market and get a broader product assortment from Amazon all in one trip, saving them time and money.”
