flag Amazon is closing all U.S. Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go stores, shifting focus to Whole Foods and larger grocery formats.

flag As part of a strategic move to concentrate on its most lucrative grocery format, Amazon is closing all 57 Amazon Fresh stores and 15 Amazon Go locations in the United States and converting many of them into Whole Foods Market stores. flag The action, which aims to increase productivity and cut expenses, reflects the difficulties in maintaining smaller-format physical stores in the face of fierce competition and narrow profit margins. flag Amazon will carry on with online grocery delivery and create a new large-format grocery concept even though Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go were unable to establish viable business models. flag Jobs at other Amazon locations, such as Whole Foods, may be offered to affected employees.
