Amazon confirmed last month that Amazon Go convenience stores are slated for Chicago and San Francisco, but no timetable was provided. The first Amazon Go, an 1,800 square foot store that carries mostly food and beverages along with some nonfood items like batteries and over-the-counter medicine, opened in Seattle in January.
Amazon Go stores feature checkout-free shopping made possible by the company's "Just Walk Out" technology. Overhead cameras and weight sensors detect merchandise that shoppers take from and return to shelves, and keep track of items selected in a virtual cart.
Shoppers use the Amazon Go mobile app to gain entry, and when they leave the store, their Amazon account is automatically charged for the items they took with them.

TargetExpress to open in Center City Philadelphia
Target announced last week that it plans to open a TargetExpress store next summer at 19th and Chestnut in Philadelphia, and according to reports, the company is already considering a second Center City location.
Earlier this year Target announced that it would open TargetExpress stores in urban areas, including San Francisco and Chicago.
The Philadelphia store is slated to be 21,000 square feet over two floors and will carry smaller items than typically found in full-size Target locations. The smaller items will allow carless customers to carry them and stash them in cramped apartments, according to a company spokesperson.
A decision has not been made yet as to whether there will be a pharmacy in the store. Earlier this week Target and CVS announced that the drugstore chain would acquire Target's pharmacy and clinic businesses.

USPS to deliver groceries for e-tailers
It was announced in October that the U.S. Postal Service has been granted permission to start a two-year test of a customized delivery program for grocery e-tailers. The approval follows the postal service's test partnership with AmazonFresh in San Francisco.
Despite protests from a group knows as the Taxpayers Protection Alliance, the Postal Regulatory Commission determined that this new service would not disrupt existing grocery delivery services.
The postal service expects the delivery program to generate at least $10 million in annual revenues.
