Large automated robotic warehouse, started operation early 2014. Fulfills online orders to the SF Bay Area, placed online through Amazon.com
The order-filling centers are all part of Amazon's efforts to provide next-day and same-day delivery for customers, analysts said.
"It's for people who want instant gratification," said Rob Enderle, a San Jose-based analyst.
With the centers in operation, Amazon could pose more challenges to brick-and-mortar retailers.
"It will be tougher for stores to compete with the idea of a customer picking up the phone or using their computer, placing an order and paying a nominal fee to get same-day delivery," Enderle said. "You don't have to deal with crowds or traffic."
