Amazon, Whole Foods launch 30-minute drive-through grocery pickup
Amazon has launched a grocery pick-up service at Whole Foods Market stores in Sacramento, California and Virginia Beach, Virginia, with more cities to come throughout 2018.
Amazon Prime members can place their order of select organic produce, bakery, dairy, meat and seafood, floral, and everyday staples via the Prime Now app, choosing the pickup option at checkout.
Customers can choose free pickup in as little as an hour on orders of $35, or in 30 minutes for a $4.99. After arriving at the Whole Foods Market store, customers park in a reserved pickup spot and a Prime Now shopper will place groceries into their car within minutes.
“For an even faster experience, customers can tell us they are on their way using the Prime Now app and groceries will be ready as they arrive,” explained Stephenie Landry, Worldwide Vice President of Prime Now, AmazonFresh and Amazon Restaurants.
Pickup and delivery from Whole Foods Market are available daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
