Gee is this a replay of Service Merchandise on a much larger scale?
At least you could enter Service Merchandise and view the goods that you wanted to buy. Amazon Fulfillment is just a huge warehouse.
I often wondered if a Service Merchandise concept would work. It would provide customers the chance to see, touch and even try merchandise before buying, which is desired for certain items. Then, deliver directly to the home rather than stocking shelves and moving inventory to brick-and-mortar stores. Also, the concept can provide a location to return items.
I was actually a fan of Service Merchandise.
This could be a great thing for people who live in Indianapolis and lack transportation to work at the current fulfillment centers in the surrounding counties. It may not be a traditional anchor store, but all those Amazon employees are also potential customers who will be in the area to eat and shop before and after work. It could generate new business for the remaining stores and restaurants that really need it.
Amazon is having problems with employee covid outbreaks and deaths in the fulfilment centers in Indiana and across the country. One known source of the the problems is a lack of social distancing in the warehouses, which were not designed with Covid in mind.
This issue needs to be factored into negotiations with Amazon to ensure a success for Amazon and the community. There are several news articles about this across the country. In addition, thirteen states Attorney Generals sent a letter with concerns to Amazon in May.
