On day one, Whole Foods shoppers saw 'farm fresh' Amazon Echo and Echo Dot devices for sale in the grocery chain, as well as Amazon price tags and the word 'Echo' spelled out in a produce display in some locations.

While these are the only devices being sold so far, it's expected that Amazon will push Alexa for shopping purposes and even link users' online and retail experiences to offer purchase suggestions and more.

'I was suspecting that they were going to use the stores as a showcase for not just their Amazon Fresh and Pantry but for the actual devices,' Carolina Milanesi, an analyst with Creative Strategies, told DailyMail.com.

'I think Echo and any device that may come in the future that is home related will fit in the context, as well as anything that uses Alexa, so you can link Alexa to your shopping.'
