Prime Pantry closed on Wednesday, but customers can still order food and household items through Amazon s main page.
The program was launched in 2014 and was initially offered to members of the Prime free shipping program. But in 2018, Amazon added a $5 monthly subscription fee.
Since launching the program in 2014 Amazon has expanded into the household goods market, with programs like Amazon Fresh for groceries and with the company s acquisition of Whole Foods Market.
