Amazon Fresh to open by the end of the year

The Amazon Fresh grocery store is expected to open in Bailey’s Crossroads in December, according to a store manager.

The store is located at Crossroads Center between Staples and Golf Galaxy.

Much of the shelving has been installed, although there’s much more work to be done inside the building.

Shopping cart corrals and signage have been put up in the parking lot.

Like other Amazon Fresh stores, it won’t have the high-tech checkout system originally proposed.

Annandale Today first reported that Amazon was going to open an Amazon Fresh store in a former Safeway building at Crossroads Center in January 2021.

After the exterior of the building was upgraded, it remained vacant for years as Amazon experienced huge losses, closed some of its grocery stores, and halted plans to open new ones.
