Say goodbye to brick-and-mortar Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh stores.
The e-commerce giant, which is in the midst of a corporate downsizing, is discontinuing its Go and Fresh stores and One palm checkout while it repurposes the underlying technology.
When will Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go stores close down and will Amazon.com grocery delivery still work or stop? Amazon will shut 72 physical grocery stores by February 1. California stores will close later.
Amazon said it's closing all of its Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh locations, as the online behemoth focuses on its grocery delivery, Whole Foods Market and a new "supersized" store concept.
Amazon says it's slashing about 16,000 jobs in the latest round of mass layoffs in the tech industry. It comes after Amazon laid off 14,000 workers in October 2025.
