Is an Amazon grocery store coming to Woodbury? - Bring Me The News

A proposed redevelopment in Woodbury is the latest set of plans sparking speculation about Amazon's rumored grocery store endeavor in the Twin Cities. 

Local developer Launch Properties, LLC. is proposing to build a 44,000-square-foot grocery store and new Wells Fargo branch at 7525 Currell Blvd. 

Developer Dan Regan told city officials he's unable to reveal the name of the grocery tenant, but said the plans are for a traditional grocery store with "some enhanced functionality." 

"I will say that we have a lease signed for the grocery tenant, but I have been made to sign a confidentiality agreement with that tenant," Regan told the Woodbury Planning Commission last week. 

Other similar unnamed grocery stores are headed to Eagan, Burnsville, Lakeville, Coon Rapids and Arden Hills. 

While there's no official opening dates announced, some of the projects — such as the new store in Eagan's Town Centre — appear to be close to opening. 

And, in Coon Rapids, the new grocery store in Riverdale Village is expected to open by the end of the year, according to city officials. 

Amazon Fresh brick-and-mortar stores are currently found in California, Illinois, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, New Jersey and Washington. 

One notable feature of the stores is "Just Walk Out" shopping, which allows customers to skip the checkout. 

"Amazon Fresh is a new grocery store designed from the ground up to offer a seamless grocery shopping experience, whether customers are shopping in store or online," the company's website states.

"You'll find everything you typically find at a grocery store, with the low prices you expect from Amazon, including a wide assortment of national brands; high-quality produce, meat, and seafood; plus, our culinary team offers a range of delicious prepared foods made fresh in store, every day."

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
