Amazon launched a new shopping portal called Amazon Access that is designed for shoppers receiving government assistance.
Amazon plans to create 2,500 corporate and technical jobs in Southern California, including more than 1,000 in Santa Monica and more than 800 in Irvine.
The shopfront features SNAP EBT on Amazon, information about the Amazon Layaway program that all shoppers can use to pay for their orders over time and spotlights discounts and coupons for any customer on essential grocery items. "Given the tough economic climate with many facing rising costs on essential needs, we want our customers to know about all the accessible offerings available on Amazon, no matter their circumstances," said Nancy Dalton, head of community partnerships for Amazon Access.
"It is something positive Amazon can point to, which shows it is helping hard-pressed consumers during a more difficult economic period," said Saunders, adding that Amazon "should be able to generate some incremental sales out of consolidating the benefits into a new shopfront."
