Online Retail

I was recently reading articles on Design Week and other online design magazines, and I came across a running theme of unlikely retail shops taking over the high street. I then found an article about Amazon opening their first physical store which really caught my eye. However, as I read further into the article I realised that it is not what it seemed and Amazon was just opening a mini warehouse where people can pick up orders and return/exchange them, so in my opinion not really a shop at all. I was really disappointed in this as the headline made me really excited because everyone loves Amazon, but to me its not really a store, its just a warehouse like amazon already is. So could Amazon really work expanding as a store? Or should it really stick to being online?
