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 plans to open a massive 230,000-sq.ft. store outside Chicago featuring groceries and general merchandise to challenge Walmart's dominance in that space.

Amazon Go, equipped with the cashierless Just Walk Out system, was heralded as a marvel when the first location opened to the public at Amazon’s Seattle headquarters building in 2018. Efforts to deploy the expensive array of ceiling-mounted cameras and sophisticated software to full-sized Fresh and Whole Foods stores were a bust.

Amazon has submitted plans for a large-format store near Chicago that would be larger than a Walmart Supercenter.

Amazon plans to open its largest retail store in Chicago suburbs. The massive Orland Park location will combine shopping with fulfillment operations.

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 set to open what it calls the “first-of-its-kind” retail store in Orland Park after receiving the final approval from the village’s board on Monday night.
