Since first introducing its same-day delivery service for perishable groceries in August, Amazon has now more than doubled the number of U.S. locations it serves to 2,300. The e-commerce giant has added some 1,300 locations in just four months and plans to continue growing its same-day grocery service in 2026.
According to an Amazon statement on Dec. 10, perishable products such as fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat, seafood, and baked goods are topping the nation’s list of customer delivery requests. In addition, everyday household items including paper towels, toilet paper, toothpaste, pantry staples, and even books and electronics have become part of the same-day delivery trend.
