“We’re thrilled to open our newest Amazon Fresh grocery store right here in the heart of Montgomery County. This opening invites customers in Gaithersburg, MD to experience grocery shopping with Amazon Fresh, both in-store and online. We’re excited for customers to see our wide selection of national brands, high-quality produce, and curated array of their favorite local items and fresh-prepared meals. Our team is proud to build new relationships with our customers and important local organizations in the area like Capital Area Food Bank.” – Jim Gillespie, Regional Manager, Amazon Fresh
Over a year ago, 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.
