Last week, reports surfaced that Amazon is considering opening a bricks-and-mortar store. Today, Reuters is reporting that this store may be in Seattle, the city where the company is headquartered.
Reuters has more: “Amazon also plans to open a physical store in its home town of Seattle in coming months to showcase and sell its growing line of gadgets, including the Kindle Fire tablet, industry blog Good E-Reader reported this weekend.”
Analysts have imagined the stores as Apple-like boutiques and Costco-like big box stores. eBookNewser has more: “Cowen & Co. analyst Jim Friedland speculated about it in a report to investors.He wrote: ‘The primary goal of the test is to determine if a physical retail presence can accelerate sales of Kindle devices and follow-on consumption of digital content at an attractive return on invested capital.’”

physical stores would help Amazon to boost sales of electronic gadgets like Kindle, but considering their enormous catalog it's hard to see how it would help sales of anything else.
