New Schaumburg store marks second location in Illinois Next week, Amazon plans to open its eighth Amazon Fresh store, a new supermarket concept that the e-tail giant premiered last summer. Seattle-based Amazon said Friday that it plans to open a 45,000-square-foot Amazon Fresh location in Schaumburg, Ill., on Jan. 28. The new store will be the banner’s second in Illinois following the opening of a 35,000-square-foot location in Naperville on Dec. 10. Four Amazon Fresh stores opened their doors in 2020 since the concept’s first location, a 35,000-square-foot unit in Woodland Hills, Calif., debuted in late August and then opened to the public in mid-September. Besides the Naperville site, Amazon opened Fresh stores to the public in Irvine, Calif., (40,000 square feet) on Oct. 22; Northridge, Calif., (30,000 square feet) on Nov. 12; and North Hollywood, Calif., (25,000 square feet) on Nov. 19.
