Long Island welcomed two new Amazon Fresh locations on Thursday, one in Plainview and the other in East Setauket.
The simultaneous 8 a.m. openings of both locations mark Amazon Fresh’s first expansion on Long Island since launching its Oceanside store in 2022, bringing the retailer’s presence in the region to three locations.
These new stores differ slightly from the Oceanside location. They do not feature the walkout technology that automatically scans items as you exit. Instead, they offer a “dashcart” system, where items are scanned as shoppers place them in their carts, providing a running total.
The East Setauket store, located at 4054 Nesconset Highway, spans 43,000 square feet and revitalizes a space that had been vacant since Waldbaum’s closed in 2015. The Plainview location, measuring 33,500 square feet at 50 Manetto Hill Road, replaces the former Fairway Market, which closed in 2020.
