Amazon is expanding its Counter, a network of staffed package pickup locations within partner stores. It is adding thousands of sites, according to a press release, via partnerships with GNC, Health Mart and Stage Stores. Counter is part of the Amazon Hub, launched this past June, a network of pickup locations that includes thousands of lockers across the country.

"The response we’ve heard from our customers and partners after the launch of Counter earlier this year has been tremendous," said Patrick Supanc, worldwide director of Amazon Hub, in the release. "This new network of pickup points gives customers a pickup experience that is fast, flexible and convenient, and partners are thrilled with the strong engagement and additional foot traffic Counter is driving for their stores."
