The retailer has reportedly dropped talks on renting additional space for its checkout stores after existing stores failed to meet expectations.

This has forced Amazon to rethink its presence in the country.

Amazon Fresh stores are set to open in the UK in 2021, but the country has entered a period of economic uncertainty. Rising prices, especially of groceries, have made consumers want to spend their hard-earned money on essentials only.

Amazon is believed to have put its expansion plans on hold, but may revisit the idea in a year.
