A similar situation played out on Cape Cod in Bourne... Shaws used to have a place off of Macarthur Blvd but Stop and Shop came in, bought them out, and left the store empty to eliminate the competition. Amazon can sing their song, and dance their dance, however, this behavior of anti-competition, and monopolistic tactics have not only been at the forefront of Amazon's marketing division but a requirement. This being said, I doubt that Amazon has any interest in opening many of their new stores
