Saying “certain store locations work better than others,” Amazon Fresh is closing its Manassas store for good this weekend.

The 45,000-square-foot supermarket in the Sudley Manor Square Shopping Center opened in June 2022, with the Prince William Department of Economic Development at the time celebrating the 150 jobs the store created.

But the Manassas location competed with several other grocery retailers in the area, as well as Amazon’s own fast delivery service.

“Certain store locations work better than others, and after an assessment of our offering we’ve decided to close our Amazon Fresh store in Manassas,” an Amazon spokesperson said in an email Thursday. “Customers in the area can continue to shop from a wide selection of grocery products at Amazon.com/grocery with same-day delivery options, or from our other Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market stores in the area.”

The store’s last day of business will be this Sunday, March 16, and all employees are being supported through the transition, according to the company.

Word of the closing got out Thursday morning with shoppers reporting the store selling everything for 90 percent off followed by photos of long lines in the shopping center.

Amazon says its other stores in Northern Virginia will remain open, including the Amazon Fresh at 10360 Fairfax Blvd., in Fairfax and the Whole Foods Markets at 4501 Market Commons Drive in Fairfax and 11660 Plaza America Drive in Reston.

The company’s newest D.C.-area Amazon Fresh opens March 27 in Silver Spring, Md.

“We remain committed to Amazon Fresh and our broader grocery strategy, and will continue to refine our portfolio of stores as we learn which locations and features resonate most with customers,” the spokesperson said.
