Amazon to Close All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Locations

Fro-yo girl here. Amazon recently announced plans to shutter all Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go locations. Amazon Go was Amazon’s version of a convenience store. The suburban Amazon Go locations offered self-serve froyo and toppings with flat rate pricing of $4.99. Initially, Pinkberry was served, but later they switched to non-Pinkberry froyo.

The Amazon Go in Whittier, CA, was the first Amazon Go to open in Southern California back in 2022. Later, Amazon opened additional SoCal Amazon Go locations in Woodland Hills and Torrance. The Whittier location was the only one still open in 2026.

I liked Amazon Go because you could get hot, even freshly made food that was affordable and better than 7-Eleven and other convenience stores.

There were 14 Amazon Go locations listed on the Amazon website in late January 2026. I looked into which Amazon Go locations still had froyo in 2026. Five of the 14 offered self-serve froyo.

Amazon Go Closes in Woodland Hills, A Visit to Amazon Go Whittier

 

Fro-yo girl here. It’s been almost a year since I visited Amazon Go (I don’t live near one). Turns out that the Amazon Go in Woodland Hills closed in late February after three years in business. Amazon Go in Torrance doesn’t offer self-serve froyo, so I headed to Amazon Go in Whittier.

The last time I was at Amazon Go, Whittier, I found out that they stopped carrying Pinkberry in late 2023 and switched to chocolate and vanilla frozen yogurt. I asked the employee what brand of froyo mix they use, but he didn’t know because someone else maintains the soft serve machine.

While the price of froyo has gone up everywhere, even at IKEA, Amazon Go still offers flat rate cups of froyo and toppings for $4.99 (the price hasn’t changed since it first opened). It’s a real froyo steal. The froyo wasn’t bad at all. The vanilla is on the bland side. The chocolate isn’t crazy sweet. The yogurt is thick and creamy. For toppings, they had sprinkles, Oreos, and chocolate chips. The toppings dispenser is very messy, so a lot of toppings are wasted.

Amazon Go had a lot of items on sale. It feels like it’s going out of business. I actually like it because they carry better brands, have kombucha and cold brew on top, and have froyo. The prepared foods are better than 7-Eleven’s, and you can even get fresh food that’s made to order and reasonably priced. I’m not the type of person who shops at convenience stores, but if I lived near a better convenience store with froyo, I could see myself visiting it more often.

Amazon peaked at about 30 convenience stores. Since the peak, they’ve closed about half of these stores.

Pinkberry No Longer Available at Amazon Go

 

Fro-yo girl here. Remember how excited I was that you could get Pinkberry at Amazon Go stores. There are three Amazon Go stores in Southern California and the Whittier and Woodland Hills locations had self-serve Pinkberry with unlimited toppings. It was a really good deal because they charged a flat rate of $4.99 for froyo and toppings. Granted, they only offered two flavors, original and pomegranate, and three toppings, but still, it was a steal.

Unfortunately, I don’t live near Amazon Go, so my visits were infrequent. I recently returned and noticed the Pinkberry sign had been removed. The froyo machine and toppings were still there. They were out of froyo mix during my visit, but I was told that they now serve vanilla and chocolate froyo (not Pinkberry). The change happened late last year. It’s still $4.99/per cup with unlimited toppings.

Amazon Go doesn’t look like it’s doing too well. Some of the shelves looked empty. They seem to have reduced their inventory. The prepared food is simple, but it’s not bad.

Last year, Amazon closed eight Go storesclosed eight Go stores. Amazon Fresh isn’t doing well either.

Yogurtland Whittier, CA Has Closed & Other Whittier Froyo News

Yogurtland Whittier, interior

Yogurtland Whittier, exterior

Fro-yo girl here. I hadn’t visited Whittier for a few months (not since fall 2022 when Amazon Go first opened) and it felt like time for another big flat rate cup of Pinkberry. The price hasn’t changed – it’s still $4.99, including toppings. And it’s still self-serve. Amazon Go is doing a good job with the froyo texture too! Anyway, as I was driving over to Amazon Go on Whittier Blvd., I noticed the Yogurtland sign had disappeared.

Yogurtland Whittier at the Quad has closed! The last day was December 23, 2022. They posted the following message on Facebook, “Thanks for all the love and support at our Whittier store throughout the years! Unfortunately, we have permanently closed our doors as of 12/23/22.” The shop first opened in 2012.

I took a few pictures. The froyo machines are gone but the counters, lights, and tile are still there. The exterior and interior signs were removed. I visited the location a few times. R.I.P., Yogurtland Whittier.

In other Whittier froyo news, Rockie’s is under now ownership. The shop was closed for remodeling and it reopened on March 25.

Getting Pinkberry at the New Amazon Go in Whittier, CA

 

Fro-yo girl here. Amazon Go opened their first store in Southern California in Whittier on September 13. I visited on 9/14/22. Amazon Go is Amazon’s version of a convenience store with freshy made food, coffee stations (they serve Starbucks), Healthade kombucha on tap, Stumptown cold brew coffee on tap, Pinkberry self-serve froyo station, snacks, premade food, drinks, ice cream, wine, beer, etc. It’s contactless thanks to the use of Amazon’s Just Walk Out Technology.

As for the Pinkberry station, there was one machine with two froyo flavors: Original tart and pomegranate. There were three toppings: chocolate chips, honey oats granola, and mini milk chocolate gems. There was one cup size. A cup of froyo and toppings is $4.99 which is a real bargain. You can’t even get a small cup of Pinkberry for $5 these days. It's self-serve!

Because the toppings are on the counter, it’s difficult to get them onto the tall froyo swirl without making a mess. If you want a lot of toppings, I suggest putting them on the bottom of your cup, under your froyo. I was pleasantly surprised by the smooth, fresh quality of the froyo and the firmness. I hope they keep it up!

Scan your Amazon shopping app when you enter. Then cameras will track your items and charge your Amazon account when you exit. It’s a little strange but it worked fine. If there’s a problem, you can report it on your app. If you don’t like an item, you can request a refund. There are no cashiers but they had a customer service desk, employees in bright orange shirts on the floor to answer questions, and people preparing food.

Use the kiosk to order freshly made food, including build your own sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, wraps, salads, breakfast burritos, avocado toast, hot egg bowls, and a kids menu. They’ll call your name when your order was ready (too bad they didn’t have robots doing the food prep). The grab & go section had sushi, bagels, wraps, salads, soups, croissant sandwiches and more. There was a hot foods area with cheese melt sandwiches, pizza slices, and popcorn chicken.

As I was driving home, I spotted the Amazon Go billboard which shows a sandwich, a cup of coffee, avocado toast and a cup of Pinkberry froyo! Amazon Go will open in Torrance soon.
