This expansion is an attempt by the company to increase its focus on their bricks-and-mortar presence and create a way to reach more people.
In March, The Wall Street Journal reported that Amazon's new grocery chain isn't intended to compete directly with the company's upscale Whole Foods Market chain.
The company is also eyeing grocery spaces in New Jersey.
