Amazon is shutting down its Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh grocery stores, marking a significant retrenchment from its most ambitious efforts to reinvent brick-and-mortar food retail. In short, Amazon is closing physical stores, but you can still order Amazon Fresh online for same-day delivery if they serve your address. At the time of the announcement, Amazon operated 57 Amazon Fresh stores and 15 Amazon Go locations. Amazon Fresh stores, launched in 2020, combined national brands, fresh food and technology-enabled shopping features in a more conventional supermarket format. It is also piloting a new “Amazon Grocery” format embedded within select Whole Foods stores, allowing customers to shop for Amazon household essentials alongside traditional grocery items.
