Stores
At present, the vast majority of products available on the Amazon website cannot be purchased in any bricks-and-mortar stores, so the main dealings of the company are all online.
Amazon has many different locations across North American and 7 international stores (a few in London) as of December 31, 2020. Groceries can now be ordered via Amazon and there is a planned expansion of the Amazon Fresh supermarket line.
Employees
In FY20, Amazon employed 33,675 people across the UK. These were spread through logistics and also in warehouses and fulfilment centres.
