Amazon not opening high street stores
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 8 December 2009
Amazon has denied reports in the Sunday Times that it plans to open high street shops. The Times said that the etailer was considering a high street presence not so much to fill the gap left by the closure of entertainment retailers like Zavvi and Borders, but more to provide a physical pick up point for some of the more bulky goods the website now sells, which won’t fit through a letter box and which are harder to deliver to house holds where there is no one in during the day. It would sort of be like an Argos where you order goods on the net in advance. However, Amazon has told the Press Association that it has no plans to open any physical shops anywhere in the world.
