Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Interesting to follow thought process as they just spent the last 20 years succeeding in destroying a huge portion of it.
Word of caution new Management Group. You won't be able to use and buffer Prime Memberships and AWS into your physical location numbers. They are going to have to stand alone.
When the street sees your margin is in line with everyone elses, look out below when it comes to multiple contraction.
Their whole foods purchase should tell them everything they need to know about expanding their physical footprint and opening massive amount of stores.

The Wall Street Journal had some interesting articles on this topic today:

TL;DR: Amazon is poised to become a modern day Sears. They’re having to open up their own stores as the Walmarts and Targets of the world are beginning to catch up.
I remember the rumors that they were going to buy Kohls.
It’s interesting that they’ve now pivoted to make so many things themselves. (Most of the clothing advertised on their site are their own private labels.)
I do laugh at the irony of it all…The Amazon bookstore in Bellevue Square looks like an old Waldenbooks. -
Retail is dumb. I hate going to the store.
Groceries nah
Clothes maybe. But just once then I buy the same online in diff colors
Restaurants...eh restaurants mostly suck. Fish taco or something every once in awhile
Haircut I guess
What else is there? -

I hate Jeff Bozos, yet I probably spent $2,000 since the plandemic started

Amazon is inventing a hybrid interactive retail concept combined with hub style delivery/ pickup/return features that help them speed up delivery times while cutting costs and delivery vehicles clogging roads.
Every store will have dynamic inventory based on Prime member search and purchase results within a particular stores local footprint
