Perhaps Amazon’s Bezos is funding all these physical retail store attacks to drive more Sales to Amazon. It wouldn’t surprise me.
Not sure he is funding them - but he sure is benefitting from them. Imagine all the folks in Nebraska, who were never even going to be caught dead in a Nordstrom’s in SF seeing this and simply saying screw it - I’ll go to Amazon or WalMart.com. Retail has become a total bloodbath - what else could go wrong?
