All Amazon Fresh grocery stores in UK set to close
The Independent
|September 24, 2025
Amazon plans to close all 19 of its grocery shops across the UK, putting as many as 250 jobs at risk.
The firm will look to convert up to five of the Amazon Fresh shops, noted for their walk-in walk-out style with no checkouts, into Whole Foods stores. Amazon said the move is part of a wider overhaul of its UK grocery operations, which will shift focus more towards its online business. Its bosses have said that the firm is still “deeply invested” in the UK.
The US-based company said yesterday that it had launched a consultation process proposing the closure of the Amazon Fresh UK stores. It is consulting with employees at the sites, which employ around 250 staff. However, it said not all employees are set to be affected by the closures, and it plans to offer those who are new roles in other parts of the business. Recently, the company pledged to invest £40bn in Britain across the next three years.

Is Trump right to question purpose of United Nations?
If Donald Trump wasn't already in a bad mood when he arrived at the United Nations in New York, he was soon in high dudgeon when an escalator broke down the moment he and Melania stepped onto it. Any hopes his good humour might be restored were dashed when he arrived at the podium to discover the teleprompter had also failed.
