Amazon is closing four more Fresh supermarkets in Southern California as the e-commerce giant continues to focus its grocery strategy around Whole Foods and delivery.

The closures will take place in the coming weeks, Amazon confirmed to CNBC. They follow the shuttering of four other U.S. locations in recent months, in Washington, Virginia, New York and a Los Angeles suburb.

"Certain locations work better than others, and after an assessment, we've made the decision to close these Amazon Fresh locations," Amazon spokesperson Griffin Buch said in a statement. "We're working closely with affected employees to help them find new roles within Amazon wherever possible."
