Amazon Fresh opened a location in Franconia, VA on May 27, its first store in the greater Washington, D.C. area and the 13th in the country. The approximately 30,000 sq. ft store features 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 the aisles. Prime members also have access to free, same-day pickup from the store.
Additionally, the store will be donating surplus food to local food banks.
“We look forward to serving the Franconia community and welcoming customers into our doors,” said Nadeem Sheikh, store manager of the new Amazon Fresh Franconia grocery store. “In addition to low prices, customers will find a broad selection of high-quality food and innovative shopping features. We’re also proud that this store has created hundreds of good jobs for the local community.”
