Amazon is going to open a 4-star store in Maryland

The e-commerce giant Amazon is investing quite some time and energy in physical retail. The company has decided to launch its first 4-Star store in the Washington area at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda, Maryland. An opening date has not been revealed yet.

It is going to take the space that was formerly occupied by Furniture Place. This is located on the mall’s lower level in the Nordstrom corridor. This is not the first Amazon 4-Star store. The firm already has 12 such outlets in other cities. They sell devices like Fire and Kindle, books and featured merchandise rated very highly on the online shopping site. Nonetheless, it is still hiring for the Bethesda mall location. A spokesperson said to, “Stay tuned for additional details down the road”. Moreover, the giant is planning to open 10 other 4-Star stores.

Speaking about its physical retail expansion, it is noteworthy to mention that Amazon currently has two bookstores in the D.C. market, one on M Street in Georgetown and another one in Bethesda Row. Additionally, it has its checkout free Go grocery stores in Chicago, New York, San Francisco and Seattle. This next venture might be a success for the e-commerce giant since Montgomery mall is currently ‘reinventing’ itself.
