The store which is located at 2131 7th Avenue WA, Seattle and will be open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Friday. A corresponding app has also been released to Google Play.

The new Amazon Go store is a reinvention of the physical store only this time you will be eliminating the strenuous process of a manual checkout. The store utilizes the use of sensors which scans your QR codes as you check in and cameras to keep track of which items you take and their prices, your Amazon account is automatically debited for whatever you take out of the store.

Whether you are in Seattle or not you can download the Amazon Go app on Google Play, as well as on Amazon's App Store and check out, the impressive learning-powered tracking technology behind the store.
