"Whole Foods is getting in on the small grocery store trend. On Thursday, the Amazon-owned chain expanded its Whole Foods Market Daily Shop concept with the first location outside New York City. The store is located across the Potomac River from Washington, DC, in Arlington, Virginia - right around the corner from Amazon's HQ2. At about 10,000 square feet, this Daily Shop location is about a quarter of the size of a normal Whole Foods store."
"And, as the name implies, Amazon's goal isn't really to offer the store's patrons everything they might need for their weekly grocery haul. "If you want a quick lunch, need some ingredients on your way home from work, or you're stopping in for a meal to go ahead of a flight, we're ready to serve you," store team leader Jose Gomez said in a statement about Thursday's opening."
Whole Foods expanded its Daily Shop concept with a new location in Arlington, Virginia, near Amazon's HQ2. The store occupies about 10,000 square feet, roughly one-quarter the size of a typical Whole Foods. The format targets dense urban areas and focuses on quick meals, grab-and-go items, and essential ingredients rather than full weekly grocery hauls. Product categories mirror regular Whole Foods but with smaller selections and varied price points. The store omits amenities like a hot bar and full-service meat and seafood cases. The Daily Shop model positions Whole Foods to compete with other expanding small-format chains.
