Located in Woodland Hills, California, the company's first store will be one of a kind, offering a seamless shopping experience with new technology, like the "dash cart," a shopping cart with a computer screen designed to show your grocery list of items you need, and of course, Amazon Echo Show devices, to help shoppers navigate the store and find items.

Here's how the experience will work: Shoppers will be able to sign in when they arrive at the store using a QR code from the Amazon app. Then, they'll be able to add items to their dash carts where the total increase will be shown on the cart's screen.

When shoppers are done, you'll be able to exit the store and automatically complete your purchase. A sensor in the cart will automatically scan items and will charge your card attached to the app and a receipt will be emailed to you.
