Amazon announced plans to expand its investment in Texas by opening a new delivery station in Robinson. This new facility will be approximately 119,000 square feet located along John Bowden Parkway in the Robinson Business Park. A lot of work is going into getting the facility operational and more details will be shared in the future.
“This last mile facility will allow us to better serve customers in Robinson and the greater Waco area,” said Jessica Breaux, senior manager of economic development for Amazon. “We’re grateful for our partnership with the Greater Waco Chamber of Commerce, City of Robinson and McLennan County. We look forward to sharing more details about this facility in the future.”
The new delivery station will help power the last mile of Amazon’s fulfillment process by enabling fast, everyday delivery directly to customers’ doorstep. Packages are transported to delivery stations from Amazon fulfillment and sortation centers and then employees process customer packages for last-mile delivery.
“On behalf of the City of Robinson, I extend a warm welcome to Amazon as they join our community,” said Robinson Mayor Greg May. “We are pleased to embark on a partnership that will foster job creation and contribute to the continued growth and development of our city. This represents a significant opportunity for Robinson to further demonstrate its strengths as a destination for industry and innovation. We are honored that Amazon has selected Robinson as a site for expansion and appreciate their investment in our region and the great state of Texas."
The delivery station marks Amazon’s second physical site in the Greater Waco area. The company’s partnership with McLennan County began in 2022 with the launch of its robotic fulfillment center in Waco. Since 2010, Amazon has created more than 86,500 full- and part-time jobs in Texas and invested more than $84.3 billion across the state, including infrastructure and compensation to our employees. These investments have contributed an additional $97.7 billion to the Texas economy and have helped create more than 65,000 indirect jobs on top of Amazon’s direct hires—from jobs in construction and logistics to professional services.
“McLennan County is pleased to welcome additional investment from Amazon into our region,” said McLennan County Judge Scott Felton. “Their decision to continue to invest here is a testament to the strong partnership we have formed over the years and our ability to deliver on our promise of a business-friendly community that understands the needs of industry to serve its customers. The Robinson Business Park will be an ideal location for companies like Amazon to locate due to its strategic location along Interstate 35 and its proximity to a strong, skilled workforce.”
