MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell on Monday announced that he's launching "MyStore," an online marketplace for entrepreneurs that will rival Amazon, the largest global internet-based store.
Speaking on Steve Bannon's War Room: Pandemic, Lindell said, "I'm looking at another thing we're going to be launching, which is MyStore, which is a rival to Amazon."
Currently, a version of MyStore is on the MyPillow website, featuring a range of patriotic and miscellaneous products, including "Freedom Flags," "Freedom Coffee," "USA Flag Pole," and conservative books about former President Donald Trump.
Lindell boasted that his online store will include a range of products from "entrepreneurs and investors" in a video shared on the site.

::::Amazon is what it is because of the mountains of Chinese crap it sells.
I don’t see how he can do it.:::
All the stuff is pricey. I’ll pay twice as much for USA made. 5 times as much? Hard to justify except for something truly special.
Gotta hand it to him. He’s got a lot of support out there and he’s using it. Very smart.
If nothing else it will be interesting first of all to see just what IS American made.
As far back as the 1940s a new truck delivery company would have their trucks run off the road, sabotaged and hijacked to discourage competition.
What do we expect Amazon will do? Along with a ban on credit card and bank debit card purchases.
Thanks for the link. Does anyone have a promo code that would work?

This is true, but he’s probably not serious. Every week it’s another giant proclamation with no follow through.
“I don’t see how he can do it”
I do. Not all things on Amazon are Chinese in origin. Many American companies are dying for a better online outlet than Amazon.
Now we are talking!
Can you explain what you mean by failing if they go against Amazon?
It’s a website offering goods for sale. People will buy them or not. I don’t think it is about taking down AMAZON rather it is like opening another store in town as competition. What am I missing?
I don’t usually shop Walmart....usually buy everything online and wait a few days....but the monitor for my security system died so off to Walmart I went. While there I thought I’ll just buy some household stuff. Boy do they have a lot of empty shelves! They only had 2 different monitors to choose from. And their household cleaning stuff was minimum. Guess I’ll continue to buy online and wait.
See how Hogg’s pillow thing failed quickly? That’s what’s going to happen here. Mike’s going after an unbelievably entrenched market kinda like how hogg tried to go into pillows. Too late.
But as others have said, he bloviates a lot and this will be in the ground before long.
I ordered Colorado made Polar water bottles on Sunday night, they were on my doorstep by 10 AM Monday.
I honestly don’t know how they do it, but it must include local warehousing of certain items near population centers.
Retail is completely dying. Once you start seeing empty shelves, it’s over unless they get back in shape fast. Fry’s just did this long slide until demise. Their stores got more and more empty until there was basically nothing left even for a going out of business sale.
Looks like Dollar General, at least in Texas that I’ve seen, is picking up the slack with store remodels that make their stores look 100% better and fit more stock in the same space with coolers lining the walls. Not everyone can afford Amazon Prime or others, DG sees this. Once the middle class is deleted or severely reduced, the above may change.
I’ll be checking this first before going to amazon.
thank God.
At least someone is doing something instead of whining!
DG’s remodeling is really quite spectacular here in Florida, huge amount of new brand items at much lower prices than supermarkets and other stores. And the stores are cleaner and less crowded. Good place to shop locally for decent prices.
Amazon hires people to buy products from selected stores that consistently have sales They fill the orders and mail them via their postal service. A friend’s children do this for a living. She sent pictures of the boxes and boxes of orders they fill
