Over 50 brick-and-mortar shops from Amazon will close, including the company’s brick-and-mortar bookstores.
Amazon announced on Wednesday that it will close all of its physical bookstores, popups, home goods stores and toy shops. Reuters first reported the news, which reflects change for Amazon, which opened its first bookshop in Seattle in 2015 after first gaining success from selling books online. The Internet retailer operates several other similar models of shopping — such as its 4-star stores, which curate devices, electronics, and other objects that have received high customer satisfaction in one physical location.
