Amazon plans to close four of its Amazon Fresh supermarkets in Southern California by mid-November as it reevaluates store performance.

After the closures, the company will operate 19 Fresh stores in the region, accounting for nearly a third of the 62 stores in a nine-state footprint. California has the most locations, with 26 stores.

Buch declined to say how many people were laid off.

The stores closing on Nov. 16 include Fresh stores located at:
