Amazon.com Inc. is taking aim at the urban grocery market with a larger version of its cashierless Go convenience store.
The company on Tuesday opened the first Go Grocery, located in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, not far from the online retailer’s headquarters. The store is about five times the size of a typical Amazon Go -- meaning it can accommodate shopping carts -- and carries baked goods, meat, produce and household items.
