Amazon will close its two brick-and-mortar Amazon Style stores, in favor of focusing on its online fashion operation, the company said by email Thursday.
Both stores will close by Nov. 9, and Amazon is working with affected employees to find them other roles within the company. If they don’t stay, employees will receive severance and career transition services, the company said.
Last year, Amazon shuttered all its stand-alone bookstores and other non-grocery stores. On Thursday, the e-commerce giant said that physical retail remains important, noting its grocery expansion.
