Amazon is planning open several retail establishments in the United States that resemble department stores, as stated in a report by The Wall Street Journal.
Amazon’s physical stores sell clothing, household items and electronics. The executives of the company founded by Jeff Bezos, hope that these new establishments will allow them to collect even more data about their customers, from the time they spend comparing electronic items to the physical journey that consumers take from when they enter until they arrive at the cash register.

Amazon has already overtaken Walmart to become America’s largest clothing retailer surpassing $ 41 billion in apparel sales last year, according to a Wells Fargo report released by CNBC.
