Amazon Go Opens in Washington

Amazon Go recently opened a location in Washington state, reports The News Tribune. The 3,800-square-foot store offers “Just Walk Out” shopping technology that allows customers to leave the store without going through a manual checkout process.

Using the Amazon app, a credit card, or Amazon One, the online retail giant’s palm reading technology, customers will only be charged for the items that they take upon leaving the store. Customers can also pay using SNAP/EBT with the help of a store employee.

The location offers grab-and-go food, beverages, beer, and wine, in addition to everyday essentials, said spokesperson Alicia Hopkins. Additionally, there is a made-to-order kitchen that offers breakfast, sandwiches, burritos, and wraps. Starbucks beverages are also sold.

The store carries brands from across the state including Alki Bakery, Macrina Bakery, Molly’s, Reuben’s Brews, Georgetown Brewing, Stoup Brewing, Charles Smith, and Gilbert Cellars. Full Story
