Amazon's Ambitious Plan to Take Over Grocery

Jeff Bezos has some big plans for Amazon.com’s grocery future. According to Business Insider, the company wants to open 20 brick-and-mortar grocery stores over the next two years, and believes the U.S. market has room for up to 2,000 of its AmazonFresh-branded grocery stores over the next decade. By the end of 2018, Amazon plans to operate 20 locations for a pilot program of its grocery stores in Seattle, New York, Miami, Las Vegas and the Bay Area. Different versions of the stores will be experimented with during this pilot — 10 stores will be “click and collect” drive-ups, and the other 10 will be traditional stores with aisles and carts.
