In 1995

Yes, on this day in 1995, Amazon

officially opened for business as an online bookseller.

Within a month, the fledgling retailer had shipped books to all 50 U.S. states and to 45 countries. Founder Jeff Bezos’s motto was “get big fast” . He certainly has managed to do that!

An amazing success story, for sure.

May all of our chums out there experience success stories!
