Amazon Fresh opens two new till free grocery stores in London
Amazon Fresh has opened two more store locations in Richmond and Angel, taking its number of bricks-and-mortar locations in the UK to 10.
The store will use the ecommerce giant’s ‘Just Walk Out’ (JWO) technology which requires customers to scan a QR code which lets them enter the store.
Customers then proceed to do their shopping as per usual, bagging items as they go before walking out the gate without visiting a till point.
The stores’ hi-tech surveillance and machine learning capabilities detects which items have been picked up off the shelf before charging the customer to their Amazon account once they have exited to the store.
Customers will receive a digital receipt through their email once they have left the shop.
The two new location join stores in Ealing, Wembley Park, Camden, White City, Canary Wharf, Dalston, East Sheen and Holborn, walking distance from both Tesco and Sainsbury’s autonomous supermarkets.
Both new store locations are open to the public today.
