Maybe you're asking yourself, what's the big deal? What's so special about Amazon Fresh compared to Stop & Shop, Shoprite, or Trader Joe's? What's so special is the new tech called Dash Cart.Īmazon Fresh has introduced their Dash Cart, a shopping cart equipped with an interactive screen and sensors that link to your grocery list and track purchases as you place them in your cart. You open the Amazon app on your phone, hold it above a mini scanner beside the screen, and your shopping list pops up. Delays in supplies for the actual construction have slowed things down to a crawl as construction crews have had trouble getting materials needed to complete the job, and have the store ready to open.Īccording to CT Post, Francis Lollie is the town's zoning enforcement officer, and he confirmed the December opening was postponed and now a date closer to Easter, April 17, is what they are shooting for, however there has been no official word from Amazon officials yet.īrookfield is calling the construction a highly anticipated 'new concept' grocery store, and they finally 'officially' announced that it is, in fact, Connecticut's first Amazon Fresh store.
