A closer look
The absolute irony of modern retail capitalism is Amazon literally moving into the architectural corpses of the physical stores it murdered. As massive anchor stores like Sears and Toys R Us went bankrupt, they left behind cavernous, strategically located real estate near major suburban highways. Amazon aggressively scooped up these dead retail dinosaurs, seamlessly converting them into hyper-efficient last-mile fulfillment centers. The exact same infrastructure originally designed to maximize 1990s foot traffic is now being perfectly utilized to ensure your prime delivery arrives in two hours.
