It has been nearly two years since we first reported that Office Depot would be closing and that an Amazon grocery store would be taking its place back in September 2020. A few months later we found out it would be an Amazon Fresh grocery store, and today we stopped by and saw a lot of progress (photos below).
Amazon Fresh, located at 15790 Shady Grove Road in Gaithersburg, looks like it will open this summer based on what we were able to see today. Fixtures and signage is up inside the store and the freezers have already been installed and are up and running. Charging stations for electric vehicles have been installed in the parking lot, located where only Amazon Fresh customers are likely to park in front of the store.
While an opening date has not been provided, it’s looking like the store will open relatively soon. MoCo’s first Amazon Fresh grocery store, in Chevy Chase, opened last August.
