NEW YORK (AP) — Amazon is declining comment on reports it may be planning to open more bookstores.
In a call with analysts on Tuesday, Sandeep Mathrani, the CEO of mall operator General Growth Properties, said in an offhand comment related to a question about holiday traffic that Amazon had plans to open 300 or 400 bookstores.
A New York Times report, citing unnamed sources Wednesday, said Amazon could open more bookstores in the future but at a more modest pace.
Amazon said it does not comment on rumors or speculation. General Growth Properties did not respond to a request for comment.
Amazon operates one bookstore in Seattle and about five staffed pickup locations for textbooks at universities, with plans for two more in 2016.
