Note that they are only shutting down pop-up stores that feature (it sounds like) all Amazon products like Kindle, etc. NOT their cashierless "Go" stores. It sounds like they figured out that dedicated physical locations for Amazon products don't make sense like it does for Apple, etc.
- anth_anm 8y agoMakes more sense to have them in go stores, whole foods, etc... I bought my parents an echo because they had them on sale at whole foods around christmas.
- cbeley 8y agoI was scared for a second. I'm really loving the amazon go store (though, it also happens to be downstairs from where I work).
- Lorenzo45 8y agoSame here! Super jealous though because the closest one is a 20 min drive. I wish I had one closer because they're such a great shopping experience.
- chrischen 8y agoAs a dedicated Apple user, the Apple stores are invaluable for fixing hardware issues or diagnosing them.
- benbristow 8y agoAmazon devices aren't premium. In fact, they're more the opposite. People are less excited to come and play with them because they're (for many people) easily affordable unlike Apple products where a try before you part with a lot of money is a bigger 'thing'.
