The store will open a few months after another location was opened in California. “Amazonbooks” offers a wide variety of books, kindles and online experiences.
Amazon is considered a pioneer in online retailing and was expanded during the 90s. The internet company soon became known as the “Earth’s Biggest Selection” of products such as books, CDs, videos, DVDs, electronics, toys, tools, housewares, and clothes.
This will be the company’s ninth brick wall bookstore. Other Amazonbooks locations include Seattle, Portland and San Diego, with plans for new locations in Chicago, Boston, New Jersey and New York.
