Amazon follow devising his network of libraries throughout the United States so that at some point in the next few years we can be talking about the first one to be inaugurated in our country. It will be a matter of time, since it seems that Amazon is well focused on its "Amazon books."
Now, according to The New York Times, Amazon is planning to open a bookstore and cafe on the island of Manhattan. Barnes and Noble has their headquarters in Manhattan, for which some of your employees could have a coffee in the Amazon store itself when it is open in Hudson Yards.
Barnes and Noble carry with their headquarters in Manhattan since 1971. But now is when you will have some competitiveness in your own home from Amazon, which will have a store in Hudson Yards. This will be a massive commercial and residential space that will open in late 2018 or early 2019. The location is very close to the Javits Center, where Book Expo America has been held for the past decade.
Amazon will include its typical store in which it will offer its products as well as the first bookstore opened at the end of last year in Seattle, so this vast mall becomes the perfect candidate for Amazon's first on the East Coast.
In any case, we keep this news as a rumor, since there is no confirmation from any job listing on the Amazon website for a bookstore in Manhattan. But if so, we would be talking about the Amazon's fourth announced bookstore after Seattle, San Diego and Portland. There is another rumor that circulates and that is that Berlin would be one of the first locations for a store in European lands.
Which gives very clear the intentions of Amazon and how its physical stores are being welcomed for further expansion.
