San Francisco, May 26
Amazon has opened its first physical clothing retail store in the US, as the e-commerce giant in March announced to shut down more than 60 of its retail stores, including Amazon Books.
Now open to the public, Amazon Style' offers customers a personalised and convenient shopping experience while creating local jobs, said the company.
"Amazon is thrilled to welcome Los Angeles-area customers to shop at Amazon Style, our first-ever physical clothing store, and to introduce the local community to a few of the employees making it all happen," it said in a statement late on Wednesday.
Each apparel features a QR code that customers can scan to curate a list of clothing they would like to try on in a fitting room or pick up for purchase.
Shoppers can also pick clothes on Amazon.com, have them delivered to the store to try them on, and return if it does not fit.
Open from 10 am to 9 pm most days, the apparel store is an addition to Amazon's lineup of physical locations, along with Whole Foods and its cashier-less Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh grocery stores.
The company said that Amazon Style' is designed to help customers with advanced technology and world-class operations.
"Our team of employees is dedicated to helping customers find looks they love and feel great in," it said.
