I'm surprised they didn't start with the Market Street store in Meridian. I wonder if they are going to try this in other ABS/Safeway divisions as well.

Eagle is the right place to try this. The store isn't too "busy" so they will be able to observe closely what is going on. The customers there are likely more used to/comfortable with technology based on the demographics. I would also venture the shrink rate in Eagle is very low. That was also an early Drive Up and Go Store (converted the previous garden center). Also suspect a lot of the upper management lives near the store.

It's also by HQ #2 at Pleasanton, apparently.
