The surveillance footage obtained exclusively by Fox News Digital shows the couple turning into the grocery chain at about 2.11pm local time.
This comes moments after Gabby's previously reported final sighting at a Tex-Mex restaurant.
Nina Celie Angelo, of New Orleans, told Fox News that she was traveling through Jackson Hole on the 27th with her boyfriend when they saw Brian arguing with a waitress while Gabby sat by his side.
The alleged witness claimed that Brian left the restaurant and returned at least four times during the incident and that Gabby eventually stepped in to apologize for the "aggressive" behavior of her fiancé.

The restaurant confirmed the two were there on that day.
Now, the new video suggests that Brian and Gabby left the restaurant and headed to a Whole Foods in Jackson, Wyoming to shop.
The two pulled up in the infamous white van before Brian opened the trunk to grab a hat.
They walked into the store together with Brian leading the way cloaked in a hat and sunglasses.

Gabby can be seen following close behind with her arms crossed.
Cameras inside the grocery store captured the pair shopping for about 15 minutes.
There's no audio in the footage, but Gabby can be seen selecting some cheese beside a coffee bar before they headed out.
After sitting in the parking lot for about 20 minutes, they turned onto Highway 89 toward the Bridger-Teton National Forest campsite, where Gabby's remains would be found around three weeks later.
'ROUGH MORNING'
This comes as more information continues to come to light regarding Gabby's final moments.
On August 12, a 911 caller reported Gabby and Brian to police in Moab, Utah, claiming to have seen the 23-year-old strike his fiancée.
"I'd like to report a domestic dispute," the caller said, adding that they were driving a white van with a Florida license plate.
"We drove by and the gentleman was slapping the girl.
"They ran up and down the sidewalk, he proceeded to hit her, hopped in the car and they drove off."
Body camera footage released by the Moab PD shows police executing the stop and reveals the emotional tension between the couple.
In the video, a distressed Gabby can be seen with tears streaming down her face as she attempts to explain the conflict to officers, while Brian has visible scratches on his body.
"We've just been fighting this morning. Some personal issues," Gabby explains.
At one point, she adds: "We have been fighting all morning and he wouldn't let me in the car before," telling cops Brian "really stresses her out."
She can be heard admitting to having hit Brian after what she calls a "rough morning."
The vlogger blames her behavior on her Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: "I have OCD and I was just cleaning and straightening...
"And I was apologizing to him and saying I'm sorry that I am so mean as sometimes I am so mean because I have OCD and get really frustrated."
Meanwhile, Brian appears to joke with officers, as he says with a smile that he pushed Gabby several times in an attempt to fend off her attacks.
Later, an officer asks Gabby if Brian hit her, to which she responds "I guess," and then clasps her chin in a grabbing motion to reenact what Laundrie allegedly did.
"He like, did that with his hand," she says before the audio cuts out.
Police reported that they did not charge the pair, and instead persuaded them reluctantly to separate for the night.
After Brian told officers he could not afford a motel, he was booked a room at the Bowen Motel, a modest $78-per-night accommodation sometimes used to house domestic violence survivors.
Staff at the motel have reportedly been cooperating with law enforcement in the investigation of the murder.
DATE OF THE CRIME
Gabby's autopsy results revealed that she died three to four weeks before her body was found, placing the date of the murder around the last week of August.
Teton County Coroner Dr Brent Blue confirmed that Gabby died by strangulation, adding that the body was outside "in the wilderness" until it was found.
Law enforcement announced on September 19, 2021, that remains were discovered in a campground in Grand Teton National Park, and two days later, they were confirmed to be Gabby's.
Brian's body was found a month later after a massive manhunt.
He had died by suicide.
Brian's mysterious journal containing his supposed confession was made public in July by the Laundrie family attorney Steven Bertolino.
Brian's notebook was recovered by the FBI from the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park on October 20, 2021, along with his skeletal remains.
In the notebook, he admitted to "ending" Gabby's life, calling it a "merciful murder."
Brian claimed Gabby was dealing with some sort of injury and would "wake in pain."
He wrote that he "ended her life, mercifully" because that was "what she wanted."
"She would wake in pain, start her whole painful cycle again, while furious that I was the one waking her," the 23-year-old wrote.
"She wouldn't let me try to cross the creek, thought like me that the fire would go out in her sleep, and she'd freeze.
"I don't know the extent of Gabby's injuries, only that she was in extreme pain.
"I ended her life. I thought it was merciful, that it is what she wanted, but I see now all the mistakes I made. I panicked. I was in shock."

"From the moment I decided, took away her pain, I knew I couldn't go on without her," Brian concluded.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to the attorneys representing both families in their ongoing lawsuit about this newly surfaced video.
