At 30,000 square feet, Amazon Style is smaller than traditional department stores, but offers "more than double the number of styles," according to a press release.
Amazon is shuttering its brick-and-mortar apparel stores almost a year and a half after opening the first location, the company confirmed, marking the latest shift in its physical retail strategy.
The company said it will close its two Amazon Style stores in Columbus, Ohio, and Glendale, California, by Nov. 9.
"Physical retail remains an important part of our business, and we're continuing to invest in growing our grocery stores business, which spans Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, Amazon Go, and third-party partnerships."
It represented the company's first foray into hawking clothes, shoes and accessories in the offline world, and its latest attempt at cracking physical retail.
