Amazon Plans 2 New Fulfillment Centers in Southern California

Amazon plans to open two new fulfillment centers in Eastvale and Redlands, California, that will create more than 2,000 full-time associate roles when they begin operations, it said in a Thursday news release. Workers at the 1 million-square-foot facility in Eastvale will handle smaller items, such as books, electronics and toys, and the 750,000-square-foot Redlands facility will be a pack and ship center for larger items including sports equipment, patio furniture and pet food, the company said. A fulfillment center in Sacramento is under construction and expected to open this year, it said.
