Amazon Places 7th on NRF’s List of ‘Hot 25 Retailers’

Amazon was the only tech-related merchant to make the National Retail Federation’s “Hot 25 Retailers List” for biggest U.S. sales growth in 2020 from 2019. All retail companies with domestic sales exceeding $300 million were eligible. Amazon placed seventh with 33.7% growth. Target was the only general-merchandise big-box retailer to qualify at No. 20 with 19.8% growth. For some retailers, “2020 was a decidedly good year,” said NRF Wednesday. Topping the list of Hot 25 was Wine.com, with 99.4% growth.
