Amazon's new Westborough same-day delivery facility
As consumers scramble to complete their holiday shopping, Amazon has opened a same-day delivery facility in Westborough.
This new location joins the company’s Bridgewater location as the second same-day location in Massachusetts, according to a press release issued by the Seattle-based company on Wednesday. The company expects 200 individuals to be employed at the facility, with that number potentially expanding if warranted by customer demand.
Located at 64 Otis St., Amazon says the new 200,000-square-foot facility will allow orders to be fulfilled more than an hour faster than its traditional fulfillment centers, with customers being given the option of selecting a delivery time window working best for them.
“Our team looks forward to deepening our relationship with this community and finding ways to give back in the neighborhoods we serve,” Amazon site leader Andrew Schwarz said in the statement.
The company is working to double the number of same-day delivery sites in the coming years, according to the release. Product selection varies by location and is based on consumer trends and seasonal demand.
Amazon’s Westborough presence has expanded since 2022. In addition to the 64 Otis St. location, the company has constructed a robotics research and development center at 50 Otis St., seeking to speed up delivery times with the use of robotic fulfillment technology. The company bought two other Westborough locations and a property in Grafton in November 2022.
