automated micro-fulfillment center that houses over 12,000 unique items, enabling customers to order additional products via QR codes while shopping in-store or through online delivery and pickup options.
To enable this expanded selection, Whole Foods constructed a 10,000-square-foot automated micro-fulfillment center within the existing store’s back-of-house area. This micro-fulfillment center houses over 12,000 unique items from Whole Foods Market and Amazon—enabling customers to order Whole Foods Market’s full assortment of fresh, organic produce, dairy, meat, and private brand items, along with Amazon best-sellers in complementary categories such as Household Essentials, Personal Care, and Frozen items. Orders are prepared within minutes whether customers shop online or via QR codes while shopping in person at the store.
