The Reuters News Service reports that Amazon.com is prepared to enter the online grocery business in several U.S. markets.

The move would come after a two-year test project called AmazonFresh in Seattle. The expansion, said Reuters, would include new warehouses with space to store up to 1 million general merchandise products.

Reuters said the new grocery business could open in Los Angeles as early as this week and then in the San Francisco area later this year. If those go well, said the news reporting agency, the company will launch AmazonFresh in 20 other urban spots in 2014, including some international locations.
