The new stores would be different from Whole Foods Market, which Amazon acquired in 2017.

Amazon, which was built on online sales, has been moving more into the brick-and-mortar world and also has been testing out cashierless stores with automated checkouts.

It is not clear if these new grocery stores would be cashierless.
