Amazon Fresh Opens New Store in Oak Lawn, Illinois
OAK LAWN, IL - Illinois has become a hotbed for Amazon’s banner, Amazon Fresh, as the company recently announced its third store in the state.
The new store, which resides in Oak Lawn, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, features innovations such as Dash Carts. Dash Carts, as you’ll recall, is part of Amazon’s latest cashierless tech. Standing at 35,000 square feet, the store offers a wide assortment of national brands and high-quality produce, as well as a range of delicious prepared foods made fresh in store every day.
According to a press release, Amazon is proud to support the local community of this Chicago suburb by bringing local jobs and donating surplus food to local food banks.
Amazon news as of late has been far from boring, as it announced both Bezos’ departure as CEO and what his new role of Executive Chairman might entail.
It’s too soon to say just what this development means for Amazon overall, but we’re certain that its expansion plans show no signs of slowing.
