Amazon Fresh opened there in March 2025 and closed in February, after Amazon announced in January that it would shut all its Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go stores. Four Amazon Fresh stores in the county closed. Lidl's shelves bring Spanish olives, Italian pastas, French cheeses and Greek pastries, plus a bakery, and Starbucks closed its store in the center in late September.
