Amazon 4-Star store opens at Montgomery Mall

Amazon 4-Star has opened at Westfield Montgomery Mall. The store, as the name suggests, consists primarily of products rated 4-stars and higher on Amazon.com. It also carries products that are either new, or considered buzzworthy by the company.

The 4-star store offers Prime prices to Prime members, but you don't have to be a Prime member to shop there. It also showcases Amazon hardware like Kindle, Fire tablets and Alexa-based home gadgets.

Besides books and electronics, departments include kitchen, housewares, toys and games. No grocery items are currently carried in Amazon 4-star stores, however. Amazon 4-star stores don't use the much-hyped Amazon "Just Walk Out" payment system, either.

Amazon 4-star is on Level 1 in the Nordstrom wing, in the space recently vacated by Furniture Place.
