This Whole Foods doesn't allow customers inside

As more people rush to buy groceries online during the pandemic, supermarkets are adjusting their strategies to try to deliver customers food in a hurry.

The latest sign of this: Whole Foods, owned by Amazon, opened a new store last week in Brooklyn, New York, in a former warehouse space. It has no customers and is a so-called dark store, which is more warehouse than store. It allows Whole Foods workers inside to stock and pick items off shelves, and then Amazon drivers will deliver them to customers in the Brooklyn area.
