Amazon’s Prime now is the future

Amazon is branching out into the restaurant and grocery delivery business with Amazon Prime Now. The service will deliver food from local restaurants as well as food from grocery stores such as Sprouts, 99 Ranch, and Bristol Farms within an hour.

The service is currently only available in select places like Sacramento, Portland and Seattle among others and is expanding rapidly. In LA, you can get cupcakes from Sprinkles at your house in an hour. Why the hell would you not want cupcakes from Sprinkles within an hour? We can’t think of any reason.

Check to see if your zip code if covered here. You can access Amazon Prime now if you’re an Amazon Prime member through the Prime Now Smartphone App. You can also track your delivery and see the progress of your driver – if you’re really, really into those cupcakes.

Coming soon – anything you want in an hour, thanks to Amazon. Did you read that as of today Jeff Besoz is now the 4th richest person in the world? That’s why.
