Amazon Fresh has opened its new store in Long Beach, California, making it the eighth location in Southern California and the 12th in the nation. The approximately 40,000-square-foot store is located at 6235 E. Spring St.
“I’m pleased to welcome another grocery store to Long Beach,” said City Councilwoman Stacy Mungo Flanigan. “Amazon Fresh has hired hundreds of our neighbors, and I’m also excited to try their innovative grocery shopping experiences that include Alexa and the Dash Cart.”
Amazon Fresh offers a seamless grocery shopping experience, whether customers are shopping in-store or online. The store offers consistently low prices for all, and free, same-day delivery and pick-up for Prime members. It also has introduced new ways to make grocery shopping more convenient, including the Amazon Dash Cart, which enables customers to skip the checkout line, and new Alexa features to help customers manage their shopping lists and better navigate store aisles.
The store will donate surplus food to local food banks.
Store hours are 7 a.m.-10 p.m. daily, with the hour of 7-8 a.m. designated for customers who are 60 years and older, those with disabilities and those whom the CDC defines as high risk.
Amazon Fresh has a wide assortment of national, regional and local brands and high-quality produce, meat and seafood. The store also offers a range of prepared foods made fresh in the store every day – from fresh-baked bread and made-to-order pizzas, to rotisserie chickens and hot sandwiches like the brisket panini. It also offers 365 by Whole Foods Market organics and new Amazon exclusive brands like Fresh and Cursive.
Customers will find low-priced items available to shop every day – including $0.15 cent bananas; $0.89 cent freshly baked bread; $1.79 freshly baked pizza slices; and $4.97 rotisserie chickens. As the store opens its doors, it is offering deals on a variety of items like $2.69 for a 12-pack of Coca-Cola, buy one get one free Lay’s chips (7.5-8 oz.), $8.99/lb. Atlantic salmon filets, $6.79/lb. USDA Choice beef tri-tip roast, $3.99 mandarins (3-lb. bag), and $2.99 strawberries (16-oz. container). All deals can be found here.
Amazon Fresh has applied the same comprehensive safety measures in place at Whole Foods Market, such as requiring face coverings and daily temperature checks for all employees and vendors entering the store; requiring face coverings for all customers entering the store; offering free, disposable face masks for those who want one; and operating the store at 50 percent capacity.
