Amazon Fresh at 15790 Shady Grove Rd. in Gaithersburg will open on Thursday, August 8, according to an Amazon spokesperson.
“This will be the eighth Amazon Fresh store in the DMV region. The Gaithersburg store will feature the same wide selection, great prices, and convenient shopping experience that customers have come to appreciate from Amazon Fresh,” the company said in an email.
The Shady Grove location was first announced in late 2020. In 2022, Amazon signage was removed from the building. Construction at the location was completed for months (shelving and signage inside the store, freezers refrigeration up and running) and charging stations for electric vehicles were installed in the parking lot prior to the removal of Amazon signage.
The situation with the Gaithersburg Amazon location was not unique, as Amazon paused or cancelled dozens of stores across the country, many of which were also already built. Amazon Fresh currently has two locations in Montgomery County, both in Chevy Chase, at 8531 Chevy Chase Lake Terrace and 5463 Wisconsin Ave.
