Bear Bodega, a new 24/7 convenience store, is coming to Ursa’s Fireside in late Spring 2026—bringing Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology to campus for a fully checkout-free experience.

Simply enter the store, pick up what you need, and go. The Just Walk Out system automatically detects the items you take and charges your selected payment method—no checkout lines required.

The store will feature Just Walk Out technology, allowing customers to shop without stopping at a checkout. Image courtesy of jEMA.

The store will offer a variety of grab-and-go meals, snacks, beverages, and commonly purchased convenience items and will accept Meal Points, Bear Bucks, credit, and debit.

Construction began on December 15. The store will be open 24/7, with WashU ID access required during certain hours.
