Company officials told ArlNow they were finishing work on the 1550 Crystal Drive location. Though, exactly when this summer it will open is hazy. 

“We haven’t confirmed an exact opening date yet, but we can confirm it will open this summer,” a company spokesperson told the website. 

This will be the first Amazon Fresh store in Arlington County. But another one is planned in Alexandria only a few miles away, the report added. 

The report also confirmed that the store will include one of the company's most talked about features — the Just Walk Out system. If you're unfamiliar, the technology uses cameras and artificial intelligence to track what you've put in your cart and what you've put back on the shelf. So when you're finished shopping you, well, just walk out. 

You pay using a credit or debit card linked to your Amazon account or using an app or in-store code. Though, Amazon says there will be cashiers on hand if you would prefer. 

Don't fret coupon connoisseurs. Other Amazon Fresh stores use scanners at the exits or have them built into shopping carts that accept coupons, reports say. The company hasn't said what it will use at this location.
