Amazon to open brick-and-mortar store

AMAZON is planning to open its first physical store.

The largest US e-commerce retailer will open a store in Manhattan ahead of the holiday shopping season, the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter.

It is not clear if the store will be permanent or a holiday pop up. The newspaper says the store could function as a warehouse and a showcase for inventory.

Amazon has never opened a brick-and-mortar store but has installed pick-up lockers in major cities. It operates 40 total distribution centers in the US.
