Amazon goes even bolder. In the face of offline retailers. In the homes of shoppers. We’ll look at the Amazon push for retail dominance.
Is there anything Amazon.com can’t sell? We’re about to find out. The online retail giant just keeps expanding. This week, wine. But that’s the least of it. New warehouses. New delivery speed. New package deals to tie you in lock, stock and barrel to the Amazon retail juggernaut.
What’s going to be left of brick and mortar retail? Of the commercial retail centers, shops, where we have forever gathered and browsed and rubbed shoulders? Ask Borders – gone. Ask Best Buy – reeling. And a lot of others.
This hour, On Point: what next, as Amazon conquers the retail world?
