To celebrate the store’s grand opening, the company is hosting exciting festivities all weekend long, including giveaways, free samples and special discounts on items. All opening deals include:
- Farm raised tilapia fillet for $4.99/lb.;
- Yellow honey mangoes for 49 cents each;
- Annie’s Mac and Cheese for $1.59 each; and
- All Aplenty products at 50% off.
Customers shopping at the Huntington Beach location also can take advantage of a coupon found in their weekly circular for $10 off an order of $20 or more for shopping trips made at the store until June 18. Customers may use the paper coupon at the Just Walk Out exit or at the traditional checkout.
Customers who opt to use Just Walk Out Shopping can enter the store by scanning the In-Store QR code in their Amazon app, using Amazon One or inserting a credit or debit card to open the Just Walk Out gates. Once inside the store, customers can shop like normal. Anything they take off the shelf is automatically added to their virtual cart, and anything they put back on the shelf comes out of their virtual cart. At the end of their trip, customers using the Just Walk Out experience can simply scan or insert their entry method again to exit, and they’re good to go.
