Amazon May Be Opening Its Own Department Stores

The first locations are expected to pop up in Ohio and California, and will be around 30,000 sq ft each. The WSJ did not provide any details on what brands are likely to be offered, and said that the plans aren’t yet final.  Americans are also slowly easing back into in-person shopping. AdAge reported that US customers still prefer to shop in person for most types of retail, based on a recent 2021 survey.
