"It's just another way we're making it even easier for more customers to enjoy Whole Foods Market's healthy and organic food," said Christina Minardi, Whole Foods Market's executive vice president of operations at Whole Foods Market.

Amazon and its produce partner, which it acquired for $13.7 billion in 2017, offer two-hour delivery service from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. for Prime members. Amazon charges its Prime members $119 ($59 for students) a year for two-day free shipping and other benefits.

In August, the online retail giant started offering grocery pickup through Prime Now at two Whole Foods stores in Sacramento and Virginia Beach.

Prime Now offers fresh produce, meat, seafood, staples, select alcohol and locally sourced products from Whole Foods Market.
