Amazon Fresh Store Closing In Oxford Valley

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — The much-anticipated Amazon Fresh supermarket in Oxford Valley is shutting its doors in the near future as the company has announced it will exist as an online brand.

Amazon said Tuesday it is closing its Fresh and cashierless Go stores in Pennsylvania and nationwide, including two others in Bucks County in Bensalem and Warrington.

Some closed Fresh and Go stores will be converted to Whole Foods Markets, the company said. It plans to open 100 new stores over the next few years.

The company did not clarify at this point which of the Fresh locations could become Whole Foods stores.

The 44,500-square-foot store will be located at 2424 Lincoln Highway in Langhorne opened in September 2024.

“Middletown Township is pleased to welcome Amazon Fresh to our community" Township Manager Stephanie Teoli Kuhls said at the time of the store's opening. "We are looking forward to the convenient shopping options and new job opportunities it will provide to our residents.”

The store — like others in Lower Bucks and nearby Montgomery County — was supposed to open in the space earlier, but the company had struggled to get the stores open due to the economy.

Other Amazon Fresh stores in Pennsylvania are located in Broomall, Willow Grove, and Philadelphia.

Amazon launched its grocery business two decades ago and acquired Whole Foods in 2017 for $13.7 billion. The company said its grocery business accounts for more than $150 billion in gross sales annually.
