According to the Orlando Business Journal, the Bezos behemoth will open a 4-Star retail outlet in Colonial Plaza — but sadly not Fashion Square — in the near future, with a permit filed with the city as recently as May 6.
This new Colonial Plaza location will join a sister storefront at the Mall at Millenia. The exact location of the Plaza has not yet been confirmed.
Amazon 4-Star stores tout an inventory where “everything for sale is rated 4 stars and above, is a top seller, or is new and trending on Amazon.com.” The stores generally stock a combo of electronics, games, toys, books, kitchenware and sundry miscellanea — which makes it sound somewhat like a hybrid of Best Buy and Big Lots to us.
Customers will also be able to do returns on Amazon purchases online in the store.
