This new “fulfillment center” is similar to the Albuquerque one the company opened a few years ago. Over a million square feet, the Los Lunas center has a mile-long walk around the perimeter, and with new jobs the retail giant also hopes it means faster New Mexico deliveries.
“We’re excited to launch this building in a community that has been nothing but a stellar partner with Amazon,” said Sam Bailey, Senior Manager Economic Developer for Amazon.
After three years of planning, it’s a big deal for Los Lunas with the multi-billion-dollar online retailer Amazon, opening the doors on another New Mexico fulfillment center. “From when this was a piece of land with a lot of history, to now a place where people find a quality job and benefits starting their very first day,” said Bailey.
