AmazonFresh began testing the waters in Seattle in 2007, mainly providing home delivery services for meat, fresh ingredients and groceries.

In 2013, the business began to expand gradually, expanding its business scope by several cities each year. It now covers 17 cities in the United States, including London, UK.

In March 2017, Amazon launched a fresh grocery pickup service (AmazonFresh Pickup).

In June 2017, Amazon acquired Whole Foods, the food company's existing retail stores and distribution centers, which helped further promote the expansion of the AmazonFresh system.

In May 2018, Amazon Fresh will no longer allow local third-party sellers to sell on its platform. The program will be shut down on May 30, when all third-party sellers will be removed from the platform.

As of March 2019, Amazon Fresh ASINs (and Prime Pantry) can now be promoted using Sponsored Products, making it easier for shoppers to find the products they want to buy.
