As Amazon opens its first East Coast Amazon Fresh brick-and-mortar grocery store, the omni-channel giant is already hiring for its second.
Amazon officially opened its first Amazon Fresh location on the East Coast, and 13th overall, in Franconia, Virginia, on Thursday 27 May. The approximately 30,000sq ft store will serve the greater Washington, D.C., area.
In addition, Amazon is now hiring for its second East Coast Amazon Fresh store, which will also serve the greater Washington, D.C. area, in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Amazon has not yet released the store’s dimensions or an opening date.
Amazon Fresh stores are designed from the ground up to offer a seamless shopping experience, with extra perks for members of the Amazon Prime paid loyalty program. Currently, Amazon operates eight other Amazon Fresh stores in California, as well as four locations in Illinois. In addition, the retailer is currently hiring for two new Amazon Fresh stores that will open in King County, Washington State.
The company is also said to be planning at least 28 additional Amazon Fresh stores across the US, including a location in Plainview, New York.
