I feel like there's room in the world for a kind of locally-owned-but-Amazon-franchised brick-and-mortar store. It would probably be named, advertised, etc w/o oversight from amazon, and pick their niche and character in the local market, etc, but source supply from Amazon's network and additionally play the part of a pickup/dropoff site for local deliveries. This is assuming Amazon could trade off some of their margin for the batching of goods (for the shop) and the oversight of their pickup site.
