Amazon to close all of its Fresh grocery stores in UK

  • Amazon, a US-based company, announced on Tuesday it will close all 19 Amazon Fresh grocery stores across the UK, including locations in London and Sevenoaks.
  • The closure stems from a wider overhaul of Amazon's UK grocery operations, which aims to shift focus more toward its online business amid waning in-store demand post-pandemic.
  • Amazon is consulting with approximately 250 employees at these sites, not all of whom will be impacted, and plans to offer affected workers roles elsewhere in the company.
  • The company plans to convert five of the Amazon Fresh stores into Whole Foods Market locations and aims to double Prime members' access to grocery options via partners including Morrisons and Co-op.
  • This move indicates Amazon’s continued investment in the UK market through online expansion and organic-focused stores, despite closing its physical Amazon Fresh outlets.
