mazon Launching First Physical Store in Manhattan For the first time in its history Amazon.com is launching its first physical store, opening it in Manhattan, across from the Empire State Building. It appears the store will be a combination warehouse/retail/fulfillment center, with the purpose of working ways to offer same-day delivery for specific products. The facility will include storage, but the company also have extra storage units nearby, as it does in other cities. Further, it is believed Amazon may offer some of its tech products for retail sale at the building, which would generate impulse buys from consumers. It also looks like it's going to have a facility close by, opening one in New Jersey for the purpose of delivering groceries in the area for the first time on the East coast.
