New Amazon Fresh employees in Warrington will join more than 25,000 full- and part-time Amazon employees already working in Pennsylvania, the company said.

Unlike Amazon-owned Whole Foods, Fresh stores are geared more toward the middle-income customer and include a dedicated area for shoppers to pick up and return Prime packages.
