flag Amazon is closing all 19 of its UK Amazon Fresh grocery stores, marking the brand’s exit from physical retail in the country after four years. flag The closures affect locations primarily in London and Sevenoaks, with five stores set to be rebranded as Whole Foods Market locations. flag The move reflects a strategic shift toward online grocery delivery and partnerships with retailers like Morrisons, Co-op, Iceland, and Gopuff. flag Around 250 employees are impacted, though Amazon plans to offer some staff alternative roles within the company. flag The decision follows challenges in sustaining the cashierless concept amid strong competition and evolving consumer habits, with Amazon emphasizing continued investment in digital grocery services and low prices across its UK operations.
