Amazon’s second fulfillment centre in Alberta on track to open in 2020

The centre is located near the Edmonton airport

Amazon is building another customer order fulfillment centre near Edmonton, Alberta that is expected to open by 2020.

Currently, the building is still in the construction phase, but a recent tweet from Amazon News claims the centre is expected to open by 2020.

The building is no small feat either and would, in theory, able to house 21 regulation football fields inside its massive walls.

Specifically, the fulfillment center is being built in Leduc Country near the Edmonton airport. The purpose of the building is to house larger items shipped by the retail giant like bikes and patio furniture, according to the Edmonton Journal. 

Once completed, the fulfillment center is expected to offer 600 jobs, with that number may go up depending on how busy the centre gets in the future.
