Amazon continues to expand Texas fulfillment network

SEATTLE — Amazon announced plans to open a fulfillment center in Coppell, Texas. It will be the Internet giant’s eighth center in the Lone Star State.

Amazon employees at the 1 million-sq.-ft. Coppell fulfillment center will pick, pack and ship larger customer items, such as big screen televisions, kayaks, and patio furniture.
