Staking a claim in America’s largest metropolis, Amazon will open a 4000 square foot bookstore in Manhattan, The Wall Street Journal reports. The store will be located in the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle.
By our count, this will the online behemoth’s fifth store of this format, following stores in Seattle, San Diego, Portland, and most recently, Chicago (see "Amazon Opening Store in Chicago").
