Amazon are set to expand its new brick-and-mortar grocery concept beyond Southern California. The online retailer has now confirmed that it is opening a grocery store at the site in Schaumburg, Illinois.
Amazon is rapidly accelerating development of a long-rumored chain of brick-and-mortar grocery stores (not in the Whole Foods or Amazon Go formats) across the US.
Last year, Amazon signed leases for over a dozen brick-and-mortar retail stores in Los Angeles-area locations. Those stores measure about 35,000 sq ft. Amazon are planning to open other grocery stores in Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago (Schaumburg is a Chicago suburb), Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia.
