Amazon plans to close several supermarkets in multiple states and countries
October 10, 2025
The world’s largest online retailer is shuttering several brick-and-mortar supermarkets in the coming weeks, having already recently closed stores in multiple states and countries. According to CNBC, four Amazon Fresh supermarkets in California are set to close soon, following assessments made by the company.
The La Habra, La Verne, Mission Viejo, and Whittier locations will close soon, however exact closure dates were not provided. The moves come after Amazon Fresh stores in New York, Virginia, Washington and in a Los Angeles suburb were closed in recent months.
According to the Fresh website, there are currently 62 Fresh locations in the U.S., including the four that will soon close.
Last month, Amazon announced it was closing 14 Fresh grocery stores in the United Kingdom. The five remaining locations will be converted to Whole Foods stores.
Fresh supermarkets launched in 2020 as part of Amazon’s efforts to grow its grocery business. The Fresh program launched in 2007 as a fresh food delivery pilot project. Those efforts surged in 2017 when Amazon acquired Whole Foods in a $13.7 billion deal.
Earlier this month, Amazon launched Amazon Grocery, a private label food line that features more than 1,000 high-quality food items. Available products range from milk and olive oil to fresh produce, meat, and seafood, with most products priced under $5, according to an Amazon press release.
