Amazon expands to NWA with new facility in Lowell, Arkansas

The Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce and the City of Lowell announced a Thursday, Feb. 10 launch of a new Amazon last-mile facility, located at 315 S. Lincoln St. in Lowell.

According to a news release, the delivery station is Amazon’s first facility in Arkansas outside of the Little Rock area and will stretch 60,000 square feet, powering the company’s last-mile delivery capabilities, increasing efficiencies of deliveries to customers, and creating hundreds of jobs for Northwest Arkansas.

The release explains delivery stations as the final stops in Amazon’s transportation network before packages are delivered to customers’ doorsteps. Employees sort packages according to delivery routes before they’re loaded into vehicles operated by Delivery Service Partners or Flex Drivers, who finish the shipping cycle by delivering goods.
