Amazon Go is running internal tests at a shop in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighbourhood, an Amazon spokesperson has confirmed. Permit filings showed the store to be similar to existing Amazon Go stores, with no checkouts. However, an employee break room, alcohol section and storage were detailed on the plans, according to news outlet Geekwire. The Seattle location will open by mid-2018, but it won't be Amazon's first foray into brick-and-mortar shopping.
