Strengthening Central Texas footprint, Amazon delivers facilities in Pflugerville, Round Rock

Making its mark in Central Texas, Amazon is investing $250 million in Pflugerville, bringing 1,000 new full-time jobs and building a 3.8 million-square-foot fulfillment center that is marking a new chapter for the city’s economic landscape.

“There’s a great, talented workforce here in Central Texas,” said Daniel Martin, operations public relations manager for Amazon. “We’ve got great support from the [local] leaders. We are seeing increased customer demand and, you know, I think that the growth factor is really just building out capacity to meet that demand.”

The Pflugerville facility is the latest in a series of Amazon sites that recently opened or are planned to open in Central Texas in 2021. Other Central Texas locations include a Round Rock delivery station that opened in September; a sortation center in Kyle that also opened in September; and an additional 1 million-square-foot fulfillment center scheduled to open in San Marcos in fall 2021.
