The FINANCIAL — Amazon and Whole Foods Market launched delivery of natural and organic products from Whole Foods Market through Prime Now in Albuquerque, Birmingham, Boise, Charleston, Colorado Springs, Hartford, Kansas City, Providence, Salt Lake City and Stamford, plus additional neighborhoods in Boston and Cincinnati.
This is the first time ever that Prime members in these cities will be able to order items using Amazon’s ultra-fast service. Delivery from Whole Foods Market is now available in 63 cities, the service launched earlier this year with plans for continued expansion across the U.S. throughout 2018.
Additionally, curbside grocery pickup from Whole Foods Market expanded today to six new cities including Boise, Jacksonville, Las Vegas, San Diego, Tampa and West Palm Beach. The service launched in August and is now available in 14 cities with plans for continued expansion.
To enjoy grocery pickup, Prime members place their order via the Prime Now app and choose 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 $4.99. After arriving at the Whole Foods Market store, customers park in a designated pickup spot and a Prime Now shopper will place groceries into their car within minutes. For customers who tell us they are on their way to the store in the Prime Now app, groceries will be ready as they arrive.
Prime members can shop thousands of items across fresh and organic produce, bakery, dairy, meat and seafood, floral and everyday staples from Whole Foods Market available for delivery and pickup. Select alcohol is also available to customers in Cincinnati, Jacksonville, San Diego, Tampa and West Palm Beach.
