(Bloomberg) -- Amazon.com Inc. is expanding its grocery deliveries from Whole Foods stores to include San Francisco and Atlanta, bringing the total to six U.S. cities.
Customers of Amazon Prime can get free 2-hour delivery on orders of more than $35, Amazon said in a statement Tuesday.
Amazon, which bought Whole Foods last year, began offering delivery in four markets in February: Dallas and Austin, Texas; Cincinnati; and Virginia Beach, Virginia. Amazon plans continued expansion across the U.S. throughout the year.
Workers will select groceries off the shelves from at least two San Francisco Whole Foods stores and bag them for delivery to online customers, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg on Monday.
