It took years, but the long-planned Amazon Fresh grocery store finally opened in Upland, California in May.

But that doesn’t mean it will STAY open.
Four other Amazon Fresh stores will close next month, including one in nearby La Verne.
“At one Fresh supermarket in La Verne, California, employees were told to gather for an all-hands meeting on Wednesday, according to an internal message viewed by CNBC. They learned at the meeting that the store would close in mid-November….
“The other three stores that are closing are in cities of Mission Viejo, La Habra and Whittier.”
The La Verne Amazon Fresh store only opened in April 2022, and therefore only had a life of 3 1/2 years.
Which serves as a reminder that a business can have a crowded grand opening one day…
…and disappear the next.
What steps are you taking to ensure YOUR business survives for the long term?
So this doesn’t happen to you?
