Amazon executives plan to open a brick-and-mortar bookstore in Tigard, OR (10 miles away from Portland). The third location of Amazon Books will be established within the Washington Square mall.
According to The Portland Tribune, the first bookstore, which can be found in Seattle, opened its doors in late 2015. The second bookstore, which has not yet launched, will be set up in San Diego, CA.
Here’s more from The Los Angeles Times: “If Amazon’s first store is any indication, the locations in San Diego and Tigard won’t look much like regular bookstores. The Seattle store features fewer books than most retailers, with all the books’ covers facing out. There are no prices listed on the books; shoppers have to use a scanner or a smartphone app to find out how much each item costs.” (via GeekWire)
