Amazon announced yesterday that the Tarzana Whole Foods (on Ventura Blvd in the City of Los Angeles) will permanently close after May 5. About a dozen other Whole Foods will also permanently close by the end of the month, mostly in the South and East Coast. This is part of Amazon's plan to close a large number of their brick-and-mortar stores.
I've been to this store a few times and it is a quiet location (corner of Ventura and Yolanda), as the nearby Woodland Hills stores (Fresh on Topanga Canyon and Whole Foods on Ventura and Corbin) are quite busier. I think its closure is justified.

Re: What Stores Will Close?
I used to live in that area before WF built that Tarzana store. The center replaced an old movie theater. It was rumored there was a lot of cost overruns and the store was never busy. The store has bad street visibility and the underground parking lot was a terrible design. The new Amazon Fresh is opening (in the old Ralph's location) down the street. Maybe that's another reason for this closure.

This will be good for the Gelson's in Tarzana which just did a remodel a year ago but never got any promotional benefits for it because of Covid.

Re: What Stores Will Close?
Perhaps, but if I had to guess either Trader Joes or Sprouts would lease the space. Also, the Vons on Reseda and Ventura has been trying to expand for years since they own the property. The store is currently crap. I could see them moving if the got a good lease deal..
