Whole Foods Market is TrendPulsegrowing with smaller stores.

The supermarket chain, which Amazon bought for $13 billion in 2017, announced plans to launch a new quick-shop format to offer a convenient experience for customers in urban neighborhoods. The Whole Foods Market Daily Shop will allow for more locations in dense metropolitan areas, according to a news release.

The Daily Shops will range between 7,000 to 14,000 square feet, about a quarter to half the size of an average Whole Foods store. Yet, guests will still have access to grab-and-go meals and snacks, recipe ingredients and weekly grocery essentials.

"Though smaller, the stores will still offer Whole Foods Market favorites, including an ample selection of fresh, seasonal produce, meat and seafood, prepared foods like sandwiches and pre-packed meals, breads, alcohol, and supplements, as well as a handpicked range of local specialties and our own 365 by Whole Foods Market brand," the news release said.

The new format stores are not going to replace the original store format, which averages at around 40,000 square feet, the company said.
