Amazon is trying to set up a physical pot liquor store in San Francisco , Business Insiderreported Saturday , which mean shortly you may get to roleplay out your drunk Amazon purchases in real - time .
The e - commerce goliath has recently begun enthrone in brick - and - trench mortar localization , such as the cashierless convenience stores it debuted last year along withpurported plansto open thousands more . At the same time , Amazon ’s been taking some serious steps to endeavor to make its on - demand obstetrical delivery serve , Prime Now , the go - to for intoxicant bringing in California . While the company has been delivering liquor through Prime Now in other parts of the country since 2015 , California requires all clientele — yes , even on-line ones — to guarantee a strong drink licence before they can deal alcohol within state lines . Amazon use for such a permitearlier this week .
The suggest 200 - square - foot shopfront would be place in San Francisco ’s Dogpatch neighborhood , where an Amazon warehouse currently stands .

The move make sense have that Amazon already offers its grocery delivery service , Amazon Fresh , throughout the San Francisco area . Even without the physical shopfront , that gives the ship’s company a founding for a potentially far - reach alcoholic beverage - delivery service . And offering customers the add novelty of getting to place metrical unit in an Amazon store to grease one’s palms their preferent strong drink while also concentrate the ship’s company ’s delivery mental process kills two birds with one stone .
First bodegas , now John Barleycorn depot ; it ’s just as my fellow Gizmodo reporter Bryan Meneguswrote earlier this summer : “ In Amazon ’s crusade to fill every nook and cranny of the known universe with simper composition board box , nowhere is safe . ” Not even the strong drink cabinet .
