A giant born in a garage
You wouldn't believe that this immense corporation has started out as an online book store based in
a garage. The company was founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994, when he moved to Seattle, Washington,
where he began to work on a business plan for what would become Amazon.com. In its early days,
the company was operated out of the garage of Bezos's house on Northeast Street in Bellevue,
Washington.
The company was constantly evolving and opened up to clothing sales as well as magazine
subscriptions, electronics, toys, and even kitchenware, as it partnered with several major clothing
companies to offer 400 apprel brands in its online store.
Basically, in its quarter-century existence, Amazon has revolutionized shopping worldwide.
Amazon has become the place where people buy stuff online, regardless of what. Everything is
available on Amazon and shipping is done via dedicated and efficient services which run the
business to a profit and size maybe even Bezos hadn't dreamt of reaching in 1994.
Amazon has announced that we will be seeing drone delivery soon the drones will be able to
deliver 5lb packages within a 15-mile radius in 30 minutes. They hope that the drones will reduce
the company's environmental impact be encouraging people to stay home.
