NEW YORK (AP) - Amazon is planning to open its first physical store.
That's according to a report in the Wall Street Journal that said Thursday the largest U.S. e-commerce retailer will open a store in Manhattan ahead of the holiday shopping season. It cites 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.
