Amazon Fresh Will Make Illinois Debut in Naperville This Week
Amazon said Friday it would open its first Amazon Fresh grocery store in Illinois on Dec. 10 in Naperville. The 35,000-square-location at 3116 S. Rt. 59 will be the fifth Amazon Fresh store nationally and the first outside California.
Other Chicagoland stores are planned for Bloomingdale, Oak Lawn and Schaumburg. Amazon plans to hire 1,500 in Chicagoland, but didn’t reveal opening dates for those stores.
Amazon said in a statement that the Naperville store was supporting the community with “hundreds of high-paying local jobs… We’re also supporting the Naperville community by donating surplus food from the Amazon Fresh store to local food banks.”
The Seattle-based retailing giant introduced its first Amazon Fresh grocery store in Woodland Hills, CA in August. It describes the concept as “designed from the ground up to offer a seamless grocery shopping experience, whether customers are shopping in-store or online.”
