New Amazon sortation center in Maple Grove now up and running

Workers in Minnesota’s newest Amazon facility are now sorting and preparing packages for delivery, promising even faster service for thousands of customers in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. The Sortation Center, located at 10440 89th Avenue in Maple Grove, received its first shipment on Wednesday, October 27th.

“The City of Maple Grove is thankful for the continued investment in the community by Amazon. The new sortation center provides additional employment opportunities for residents as well as an increase to the tax base. The new facility will also provide residents and businesses with an increased ability to receive and send shipments on a timely basis. Amazon has been a great partner over the past few years, and the city looks forward to building upon the relationship into the future. The ongoing commitment from our businesses supports Maple Grove’s place as a premier destination to live and work,” Maple Grove Mayor Mark Steffenson said.

Associates have spent the past couple of weeks ramping up operations while receiving, storing and sending out packages for delivery.

“We are thrilled to open this facility in the North Metro, further increasing the speed of our delivery network. Our location was chosen based on data and customer needs and we’re proud to be a part of Maple Grove, as both a partner and employer. We bring Amazon’s state-of-the-art technology and commitment to worker safety to the region, and we look forward to growing alongside our community,” Site Leader Tommy Johns explained.
