Amazon opened a one-million-square-foot fulfillment center in the Kansas City metro area dedicated to handling furniture, sporting equipment and other oversized products.
The facility in Liberty, Missouri, is already operational with 150 employees, according to a release sent to Supply Chain Dive. Amazon hopes to ultimately employ 500 at the center to maximize the facility’s capacity.
“It’s a privilege to further our investment in Liberty to meet the growing customer demand for larger items in the Kansas City metro, while also creating career opportunities for the community,” said Site Leader Jyoti Sharma.
