Online retailer Amazon plans to open a new fulfillment centre in Miami, Florida, US.
The more than 800,000ft² fulfillment centre will create over 1,000 full-time jobs.
Amazon’s North America operations vice-president Akash Chauhan said: “Florida has been a bright spot for Amazon operations with its dedicated and talented workforce who have found great, full-time opportunities with us.
“This new fulfillment centre will join a sortation centre and Prime Now hub in the area, and we look forward to deepening our ties in the Miami-Dade community.”
This fulfillment centre will open at the end of 2018, at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport.
Since 2013, Amazon has created more than 4,000 full-time jobs in Florida.
