The brave new world for US retailers can be found in small cities like Martinsburg, West Virginia.
That’s where department store chain Macy’s recently opened a facility the size of 43 football fields - big enough to stock 1 million pairs of shoes - just to fulfil orders made online.
The US$150 million building, its third one dedicated primarily to supporting macys.com, has already been handling 60,000 orders on a busy day this holiday season. Macy’s expects that figure to triple in two years.
