Will Amazon Launch Bricks-And-Mortar Stores?
Rumors are going around that Amazon is going to launch a bricks-and-mortar store that would compete with the likes of Target, Walmart and Costco.
But would the competitive advantage be? Amazon’s business model is based on providing inventory on every kind of random product that you could imagine and delivering it within days. They certainly wouldn’t be able to keep this kind of inventory on hand in stores.
