Online-only no more, Amazon is ready to join the physical world of brick-and-mortar businesses that it helped radically disrupt.
Amazon.com plans to open its first-ever physical store later this year, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the plans. The store would open in New York City, just in time for this year's holiday shopping season.
The store would reportedly function as a "mini-warehouse," and be located in midtown Manhattan near the Empire State building.
