Amazon opens its forst almost robot-based store in Europe
Amazon opened an Amazon Fresh grocery store in London on Thursday — its first physical store outside the US.
The cashierless store is located in the borough of Ealing, in West London, and works the same way as the chain’s autonomous Amazon Go stores in the US.
The new store carries a private UK food brand called “by Amazon” and lets customers skip the checkout line.
Customers scan a smartphone app to open the store’s entry gates. Ceiling cameras and weight sensors on shelves determine what shoppers add to their carts or put back, and their on-file credit cards are automatically billed after they exit.
