The stores are expected to open largely in unison, a source has previously said. The Plymouth Township and Dearborn locations join other known locations in Shelby Township, Troy, Rochester Hills, Livonia, St. The Plymouth Township store is slated to be about 44,150 square feet, according to the planning document. 'People in Plymouth want different grocery opportunities, food and retail opportunities, and this is obviously a very high-tech and innovative concept that a lot of people in the Plymouth community will embrace,' Heise said.Īmazon Fresh is not named on the Plymouth site plan that has been approved by the township, although the project is referred to as 'Mendel Grocery.' Mendel is a code name that Amazon has used to refer to its grocery stores as it has rolled out Amazon Fresh locations in a variety of markets. Heise said construction on the new building began in the fall and should wrap up by late spring or early summer, although precisely when the store would open is not known.

A spokesperson for Amazon declined to comment Monday morning, saying the company does 'not comment on our future roadmap.' Amazon Fresh supermarkets, the first of which opened to the public last September in Woodland Hills, California, carry a variety of products commonly found at conventional grocery stores, including produce, meat, seafood and prepared foods.
