Amazon just admitted Walmart was right all along. This week, the e-commerce giant announced it’s winding down its Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go stores to focus on a new strategy: massive big-box stores that compete directly with Walmart Supercenters. The first location will be a roughly 230,000-square-foot store in Orland Park, a Chicago suburb, according to the village’s official announcement. It won’t open until late 2027.
