The company is currently constructing a same-day delivery facility in the city, which will replace its existing one.
Amazon will close its Reno, Nevada, fulfillment center on Aug. 2 as it reshapes its delivery network to enable faster shipping. The closure will impact 325 employees, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification filed June 2.
“Amazon is offering transfer opportunities to affected employees, with over 100 having already accepted roles at other facilities,” said Steve Kelly, an Amazon spokesperson. Employees choosing not to transfer are being offered severance, transition health benefits, and job placement support.
The company is currently building a same-day delivery facility in the city, with the construction slated to continue into 2026. Employees impacted by the Reno fulfillment center closure will receive advance notice of job openings at the new facility, Kelly said.
Amazon’s expansion of same-day delivery sites is key to the company’s push to increase delivery speeds.
During the past year, the company delivered more than 9 billion orders via same- or next-day shipping while growing its number of same-day delivery facilities by 60 percent.
