Beginning this Wednesday, June 27, Amazon Prime member savings will be available in all Whole Foods Market and Whole Foods Market 365 stores nationwide, providing even more opportunities for Prime members to save at the natural and organic grocery chain.
With the Amazon and Whole Foods’ Prime benefits program, first launched in Florida in May, members can get an extra 10% off sale items and weekly “deep discounts” on certain top-selling items at Whole Foods stores. The program was since rolled out to 10 more states earlier this month, bringing the total number of states with Whole Foods offering Prime benefits at checkout to 23. Now, with the announcement on Friday of the program expansion, the program has been extended to all nearly 400 stores.
“Customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive – in fact, Prime members have adopted this benefit at one of the fastest rates we’ve seen,” said Cem Sibay, vice president, Amazon Prime. “Since starting this rollout in mid-May, Prime members have already saved millions of dollars on everything from seasonal favorites to popular products.”
“Since launching Prime savings at Whole Foods Market, we’ve seen excitement and momentum from both Prime members and our supplier partners,” added A.C. Gallo, president and COO at Whole Foods Market. “Our weekly Prime member deals are a hit and we’re excited that Prime members across the U.S. will now be able to take advantage of these savings in our stores."
In addition to reaping Prime benefits in-store, customers can also receive the exclusive Prime member savings when they have their groceries delivered from Whole Foods Market stores via Prime Now. Prime Now grocery delivery, together with the special savings for Prime members, is available in Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Boston, Cincinnati, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Richmond, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco and Virginia Beach. Prime Now offers free two-hour delivery on orders over $35. Delivery from Whole Foods Market will continue expanding throughout 2018, according to the company
