All Amazon Fresh stores in the UK are to close, the e-commerce giant announced today.

Amazon Fresh, which first launched in London in 2021, sees shoppers never have to reach for their bank cards or ring up at a till.

Instead, they use the app to enter the store and are charged when they leave.

But all 19 Amazon Fresh stores will soon close, putting 250 jobs at risk.

At least five sites will be rebranded into Whole Foods, the organic US grocer that Amazon bought in 2017.

While staff, the company confirmed, will be offered new roles in other parts of the business.
