亚马逊关闭旗下生鲜便利店Fresh和Go门店

亚马逊宣布将关闭其线下生鲜便利店品牌Amazon Fresh和无人便利店Amazon Go,涉及全美约70家门店。公司表示虽然这些门店取得了一定成效,但未能创造出"具有足够差异化且经济可行的商业模式"以实现大规模扩张。

部分关闭的门店将改造为全食超市(Whole Foods Market),未来几年还将新增100家全食门店,包括其新推出的社区小型店"Whole Foods Market Daily Shop"。亚马逊承诺将尽可能为受影响员工安排其他岗位。

分析人士指出,Fresh门店与竞争对手同质化严重,而Go门店的"拿了就走"技术并非消费者核心需求。这是亚马逊在实体零售领域的又一次战略调整,此前其杂货配送服务因操作复杂饱受诟病。

值得注意的是,亚马逊并未放弃实体零售业务,目前正在测试"店中店"新模式,并在芝加哥郊区建设面积达22.9万平方英尺的大型零售空间。公司还通过自有品牌和当日达服务持续拓展杂货市场。数据显示,亚马逊杂货业务年规模已达1500亿美元,服务超过1.5亿消费者。
