Amazon to open clothing store at the Americana mall in Glendale [CA]

Shoppers will get personalized recommendations pushed to their phones as they browse the new Amazon Style store stocked mostly non-Amazon fashion labels, the Seattle based company said. Amazon declined to offer any more details on the labels.

The store will be about 30,000 square feet, similar in size to a Kohl’s but about one-third the size of other department stores, like Macy’s. But it will offer more than double the number of styles as traditional stores do because it will show one of each style on display while keeping the rest in the back room. The selection is chosen by Amazon curators who also use feedback provided by millions of customers shopping on Amazon.com.

The store concept is likely to add more strain on the already challenged traditional clothing sellers, particularly department stores that have been scrambling to adapt to shoppers’ shift to online shopping that has been accelerated during the pandemic.

“Upon entering the Amazon Style store, shoppers will see a curated set of items on display. By using the Amazon Shopping app, shoppers can scan an item’s QR code to see sizes, colors and overall customer ratings. Shoppers can add these items to fitting rooms or, if they don’t need to try something on, they can send it directly to the pickup counter. Prices will range from $10 to $400.

“Amazon says its algorithms will spit out real-time recommendations as shoppers keep scanning items that they see. Shoppers can also fill out an online survey of their preferences for style and fit. When shoppers enter the fitting room, they will find the items they requested. Using a touchscreen in their fitting rooms, they can also request other items.”

Not satisfied with the looting experience of having TRAINLOADS of its packages pillaged destroyed in and around LA, Amazon is eager to open up a brick-and-mortar location company store where it can put its employees closer to the danger.....

Or, they can simply walk out without paying! Can’t wait to see Amazon looted.

Less opportunity for smash and grab shopping.

Opening a retail store in California.

Has the IRS ruled that losses due to shoplifting be double deducted as both business expenses and charitable contributions or may be reparations?

if they put the xs womens and the xxxL mens on display the sizes will be too small for the BLM women and too huge for the Antifa guys.

That might cut down on the stealing.

Been to the Americana here in L.A. Unlike the Grove where the naggers looted at will, the Americana is like a multi-maze mini city. You cant just steal and go the parking lot. It’s a LONG WALK. and yeah, I dont give a sh*t if it gets looted.

Amazon is Government Goods....the Company Store of the Great Reset.

Anyone who actually believes that they’re a private company is an idiot. They’re the Speigal catalogue of the Deep State.... For those of us old enough to remember 1970s game shows.
