Amazon sought a permit to open a bookstore in Meridian. Then this happened. - Idaho Statesman

You know Christmas is coming, right?

Today Panzer made a trip to the Idaho Statesman site. With a little digging around our traveling kitty boy found a post about Amazon.

According to John Sowell, in March Amazon applied for a building permit in Meridian, Idaho. According to the permit application Amazon planned to open an Amazon Books store in The Village at Meridian. However, the company hasn't completed the application process and the permit application has expired. Inquiries sent to Amazon representatives and their architect by the city and the Idaho Statesman have gone unanswered. The Village at Meridian confirms Amazon won't be opening a store at that location.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... This inquiring kitty wants to know what changed Amazon's mind about opening a store there?"

Amazon book store planned for The Village at Meridian - Meridian Press

Panzer was traveling around in the Catosphere when he heard a strange hissing noise. Following the shushing sound took our inquisitive kitty boy to the Meridian Press site. There he found a post about the possible location of a new secret Amazon bookstore in Meridian, Idaho.

According to a post by Torrie Cope, Meridian Press filed a Public Records Request with the city of Meridian, Idaho, about a construction permit at The Village at Meridian. The post states the permit lists Amazon Books for the tenant renovations. Meridian Press spoke to a representative at The Village, but didn't receive confirmation about Amazon's tenancy and an email sent to Amazon didn't receive a reply.

It's not a secret anymore.

Panzer says, "This little kitty wants to know how Meridian Press knew to ask for a copy of the permit."
