DNA Info Chicago has confirmed that Amazon Books is indeed coming to the Southport Corridor after we broke the news to you first from our blog post yesterday:
“Amazon will open a brick-and-mortar bookstore on the Southport Corridor next year. The online megastore confirmed that it will open an Amazon Books location on Southport Avenue in 2017, two years after its first physical store opened in Seattle.”
“We are excited to be bringing Amazon Books to Southport in Chicago,” Amazon spokeswoman Deborah Bass said in an email Thursday.
The store, targeted to open next year, will be at 3443 N. Southport Ave., the former location of the now-closed Mystic Celt bar.”
From Crain’s Chicago Business:
“Amazon will soon be coming to a storefront near you. An Amazon spokesperson confirmed the online megastore will open an Amazon Books location in Lakeview at the Southport Corridor in 2017, two years after it opened its first physical store in Seattle.”
