Amazon is rolling out its Prime rewards program to all Whole Foods Market and smaller-format 365 stores starting June 27.

One year after Amazon announced its intent to purchase Whole Foods, members of the Amazon Prime subscription program, which offers unlimited free two-day shipping, unlimited viewable streaming media and more, will receive exclusive savings on select products. The press release announcing the Prime-Whole Foods program expansion doesn't include plans for the Canadian market, and emails to Whole Foods media department weren't answered by press time.


Along with getting an additional 10% off hundreds of sale items throughout the store, members can enjoy such deals as:




  • Baby back pork ribs, animal-welfare-rated and antibiotic-free: US$4.99 per pound (save $5 per pound)

  • Sockeye salmon, wild-caught Marine Stewardship Council-certified, $13.99 per pound (save $6 per pound)

  • Organic red cherries, $3.99 per pound (save $2 per pound)

  • Organic yellow peaches, $1.99 per pound (save $2 per pound)

  • Mochi ice cream, self-serve, five pieces for $5

  • All bulk items, 25% off

  • Organic Honest Lemonade, 32 ounces, two for $3


The deals aren’t limited to in-store: Customers are eligible to receive savings when using Amazon's Prime Now home delivery service. Prime Now grocery delivery, along with the special savings, is available at Whole Foods locations in more than one dozen U.S. cities.

According to Amazon Prime VP Cem Sibay, Prime members have adopted the new perks at “one of the fastest rates” he has seen since the rollout began in mid-May. Since then, members have saved millions of dollars on products.

“Since launching Prime savings at Whole Foods Market, we’ve seen excitement and momentum from both Prime members and our supplier partners,” said A.C. Gallo, president and COO at Whole Foods Market, in a press release. “Our weekly Prime member deals are a hit, and we’re excited that Prime members across the U.S. will now be able to take advantage of these savings in our stores.”
