Through its main UK website, Amazon Fresh online, Whole Foods and delivery partnerships with UK grocery groups Morrisons, Co-op, Iceland and Gopuff, the company already offers more than two million grocery and household items with fast delivery.

By early 2026, the company plans to double the number of Prime subscribers who can access three or more grocery delivery options, with the goal of making at least one of its grocery partners available to more than 80 per cent of Prime subscribers.
