Fresh for the Office

Amazon is now promoting its AmazonFresh food and grocery deliveries through its Amazon Business programme.` According to an article published on GeekWire yesterday (23 August), the online retail giant sent an email to Amazon Business customers urging them to “start shopping Fresh for your everyday office grocery items today”.

Amazon Business is a free programme, but users will need to have both a Prime membership and an AmazonFresh add-on subscription to have groceries delivered to their office. Amazon does enable customer to extend a personal Prime membership to a business accounts.

Meanwhile, Amazon’s ambitions for the grocery sector were given an important fillip yesterday, when its plans to buy the Whole Foods chain were approved by the retailer’s shareholders.
