Amazon.com is working with Regency Centers, one of its largest landlords, to convert parking spaces at existing Whole Foods stores into stalls for Amazon delivery contractors to load orders, according to Bloomberg.
“We continue to see signs of Amazon’s further integration with Whole Foods,” John Nahas, Regency Centers' vice president of investments, told Bloomberg. Whole Foods is adding pickup stalls at locations with high concentrations of subscribers to its Amazon Prime service, Nahas says. Regency Centers owns 28 Whole Foods–anchored properties.
Amazon is also searching for bigger Whole Foods stores in large markets to serve as both grocery stores and urban distribution centers for deliveries to online shoppers. Amazon wants retail space that can accommodate grocery aisles and storage for the most-popular items purchased from the Amazon website, which include consumer electronics, books and apparel.
