Amazon.com is rumoured to be looking to open a drive-up grocery store in the San Francisco and Seattle and join the growing drive-thru industry.
Geekwire has reported a 9,759 square foot space in Seattle undergoing construction where customers can place orders online and pick them up at the store. Retail Wire repors that the plans for this construction project are the same as the drive-up grocery store expected to be build in California.
If this is the case they will be joining grocery industry dominant Walmart, who already runs a pickup that began operating in September 2014. Doug McMillon, president and CEO of Walmart Stores sais that increased growth can be credited to “the continued rollout of online grocery and growth of pick-up in stores and clubs.”
