Ever since the acquisition of Whole Foods last year, Amazon has integrated its services with the grocery giant to cater for unique offerings for its customers. The Whole Foods acquisition for $13.7 billion stood as the largest in the tech industry last year and indicated Amazon’s heavy expansion efforts in both the e-commerce and brick-and-mortar sectors.
This August, It opened another branch of its Go cashier-less stores in downtown Seattle as part of efforts to win customers in the brick-and-mortar scene through non-conventional methods.
