Amazon Plans to Open 3,000 Cashierless Stores by 2021 The futuristic retail spaces promise to bring “no lines, no checkouts,<br />no registers.” Customers will simply walk into stores, scan items on their smartphone and leave. The e-commerce giant already has three automated Amazon Go locations open in Seattle. Amazon also opened a cashierless store in Chicago within the past week. Retailers including CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Target and Kroger saw shares decline following the news. The existing Amazon Go stores primarily sell grab-and-go food items. Amazon hopes to have 10 Go stores open by the end of the year, according to Bloomberg.
