Amazon Fresh
Opening: TBA
Another Amazon Fresh coming soon? Probably not. This store is apparently one of the so-called "zombie Amazon Fresh" locations, a fully built-out supermarket of around 42,000 square feet obviously designed to Amazon's specs that's been completed since at least 2023. The real estate company's website still says there's a national grocer coming soon here, but Amazon Fresh has yet to open any of their planned Massachusetts stores. And it looks increasingly unlikely that they will. (One is soon to open as a Big Y, for instance.)
The store is carved out of part of a former Kmart, and a roughly 40,000 square foot Market Basket recently closed at the other end of the strip mall. Given its timing, it's even possible that the Market Basket closed to make way for Amazon -- that article sure doesn't make it sound like Market Basket wanted to close here. Still, they have another store just a mile and a half south, then another two miles north.

Amazon Fresh had planned several stores across Massachusetts, including this one, the one in Westborough, and locations in Saugus, Braintree, and a handful of others -- even one just over the border in Nashua, NH, which recently opened as a Whole Foods. Other than Westborough and Nashua, it doesn't appear there's been any movement on the MA Amazon Fresh stores. We'll see, but the Amazon Fresh concept seems to be stalling in general except for a few locations. Here's a look at this weekend's other posts!
