Amazon is closing four more Fresh supermarkets in Southern California as the e-commerce giant continues to focus its grocery strategy around Whole Foods and delivery. "Certain locations work better than others, and after an assessment, we've made the decision to close these Amazon Fresh locations," Amazon spokesperson Griffin Buch said in a statement. While it's closing Fresh stores, Amazon continues to "innovate and invest in making grocery shopping easier, faster, and more affordable," Buch said. The company still maintains 500 Whole Foods locations and has opened mini "daily shop" Whole Foods stores in New York City.
