Amazon to close Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh to concentrate on Whole Foods and grocery delivery
January 27, 2026
Amazon said it’s closing all of its Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh locations, as the online behemoth focuses on its Whole Foods Market stores and grocery delivery. The Seattle-based online retailer said Tuesday in a blog post that it plans to convert some of those soon-to-be shuttered locations into Whole Foods Market. The company said it currently operates 57 Amazon Fresh stores and 15 Amazon Go stores. Still, Amazon pledges to continue to experiment with new physical store formats. In the works: a “new supercenter” physical retail concept designed for customers to shop Amazon’s broad selection across fresh groceries, household essentials, and general merchandise.
