Starbucks, Amazon Go Team up to Launch a NYC Concept Store Amazon and Starbucks have teamed up on a new store, dubbed "Starbucks Pickup with Amazon Go." Now open in Manhattan, it's meant to provide customers with a convenient digital checkout experience reminiscent of Amazon's other Go store locations.
