News of the Amazon Fresh closures follows closely on the heels of Amazon’s announcement that it would be looking to fill 6,000 positions at Whole Foods. Amazon acquired Whole Foods three months ago for $13.7 billion. It is expected that the acquisition will play a part in Amazon’s grocery delivery strategy moving forward. Nevertheless, an Amazon spokesperson told Reuters that the closure of Amazon Fresh was unrelated to the Whole Foods deal.
Amazon was not immediately available for comment.
