Amazon just opened a new store concept called Amazon 4-star.
The store, located in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood, will feature products that Amazon customers have rated four stars and above, as well as products that the website’s data shows are trending and are on wish lists.
The store is divided into similar sections as on Amazon’s website, carrying a wide range of products from devices and electronics to toys, games, books, home decor, and gifts. It also has displays of locally trending products, product bundles, and the highest-rated products.
This isn’t Amazon’s first physical store — it has been expanding its Amazon Books and Amazon Go stores. 4-star, however, is the first of its kind.
Prices at the store are displayed on digital price tags, with lower prices listed for Prime members. Some products were only $3-4 cheaper for Prime members, while others were half the price for Prime members. Reviews from Amazon customers were also displayed by products.
