<p>Amazon.com created quite a buzz earlier this Summer when the online retailer confirmed it had expanded Amazon Fresh, its online perishable-grocery delivery program, to Los Angeles, California. Now analysts are noting that the Amazon is working towards launching Amazon Fresh on the East Cost, most notably the Big Apple. Analyst Robert Peck of SunTrust Robinson Humphrey said that the retailer could expand into the New York City area for 2014, according to Business Insider.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">"Our belief stems from a planned and financed expansion into renovated warehouse facilities in NJ," says Peck. "The previous tenant of the facility was C&S Wholesale Grocers. The facility will be less than 50 miles from all five NYC boroughs, southern Westchester, and most all of central NJ."<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">Peck, continued, "We believe, based on our research, that a developer partner of Amazon has purchased ~1m square feet of warehouse space in a prime NJ location and raised capital to renovate and improved the facilities. Amazon is the planned tenant for the larger ~526k sq ft. facility, while the remaining ~ 401 k sq ft. complex, which houses refrigeration capabilities, remains vacant. It is our opinion that Amazon will be the tenant for the second building as well following the large capital raise by its partner to refurbish this unit capable of storing perishable goods (previous tenant was C&S Wholesale Grocers), and serve as its center for Fresh in the NY metro area."</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p>Will Amazon make the big move?
