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 is closing its Fresh grocery stores and Go convenience stores, the company said Tuesday. It will convert some stores to Whole Foods locations.

Amazon's top grocery executive Jason Buechel told staff that the company needs to make more "deliberate choices" to win over customers.

Amazon.com Inc. is shuttering its Amazon-branded grocery stores and automated grab-and-go markets, eliminating two centerpieces of its push into physical retail.

Amazon is rethinking its grocery business, and as part of that, it will shut down all of its remaining Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh physical stores. The company will convert some locations into Whole Foods Market stores.
