Amazon Fresh in Citrus Heights is planning to open next month.
The company recently announced plans to open its Citrus Heights location on Thursday, Nov. 7. This will be the company’s third grocery store location in the region, according to the company’s website. Online, the company lists Amazon Fresh locations in Elk Grove and Roseville.
The new grocery store will open at 5425 Sunrise Blvd. in the recently renovated Sunrise Village shopping center and will offer a wide assortment of “national brands and high-quality produce, meat, and seafood,” as well as a range of prepared foods made fresh in store every day.
According to a submitted letter by Amazon Fresh to the City of Citrus Heights, the grocer will also sell beer, wine, and spirits and provide “limited alcohol instructional tastings” in a designated alcohol sampling area. Tastings will be small samples and be offered by trained beverage suppliers or employees to customers 21 years and older, in accordance with Alcoholic Beverage Control regulations.
Construction has been ongoing for several months on the 38,000-square-foot building that was formerly occupied by JoAnn’s Fabrics. The fabric store has moved over to an adjacent building in the same shopping center.
Amazon Fresh opened its first location in Woodland Hills in September 2020 and has since been joined by more than 40 locations in California, Illinois, New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Washington State, and New Jersey, as well as the Washington, D.C. area.
The grocery store hours have been listed as 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week.
