Amazon is shutting down its Amazon Fresh grocery stores and Amazon Go convenience stores, citing failure to create a distinctive customer experience with a viable economic model. The company will close 58 Fresh and 14 Go locations, with some converting to Whole Foods stores. This marks Amazon's latest retreat from physical retail after previous closures of bookstores, 4-Star stores, and fashion outlets. Thousands of hourly workers will be affected, though Amazon plans to help them find positions elsewhere in the company.
