Amazon.com Inc. acknowledged its plans to open a physical bookstore in Dedham next year, part of the pioneering e-commerce company’s ongoing experiments with brick-and-mortar retail.

The Globe reported Monday that Amazon was advertising for about 20 jobs, including store managers, front-line retail staffers, and an inventory coordinator for an upcoming bookstore at the Legacy Place mall, about 30 minutes southwest of Boston.

Amazon confirmed those plans late Wednesday. “We are excited to be bringing Amazon Books to Legacy Place in 2017, and we are currently hiring store managers and associates. Stay tuned for additional details down the road,” spokeswoman Deborah Bass said in an e-mail.
