• GeekWire reports that Amazon plans two new Amazon Fresh grocery stores for the Seattle area, one currently under construction in North Seattle and one planned for Federal Way, south of the city.
The story notes that Amazon "has 18 Fresh stores open to date, including two relatively new locations in the Seattle region. A store opened in the Factoria area of Bellevue, Wash., in June and another opened in Seattle’s Central District in August."
• Food & Wine reports that two New York City plaintiffs have filed suit against Chick-fil-A, charging that "beginning in early 2020, despite advertising flat delivery fees on orders, the chicken chain also had higher menu prices for delivery, which the plaintiffs claim is 'deceptive and untruthful' … The lawsuit concludes that this 'secret' additional markup on delivery items is essentially a 'hidden delivery fee' that 'deceives consumers into making online food purchases they otherwise would not make' since Chick-fil-A 'misrepresent[s] the actual costs of the delivery service'."
Chick-fil-A has not yet commented on the suit, which is seeking financial compensation as well as an order for Chick-fil-A to end the practice.
