Amazon Go may have started out as a cool proof of concept located exclusively in Seattle, but the cashless stores are starting to expand well beyond Amazon’s home state.

Though I was a bit skeptical at first, I’ve been to the store a few times already and it really is as intuitive and futuristic as it sounds. The tracking technology works so seamlessly that you truly forget it’s even there.
With Amazon planning to significantly expand the number of Amazon Go stores nationwide, a new research report from RBC (via Recode) argues that the stores may prove to be a huge money-making endeavor for the online retailer.
