Amazon Launches Louisiana’s First Same-Day Delivery Hub in Jefferson Parish


Amazon has officially opened the doors to its first-ever same-day delivery site in Louisiana, a move set to significantly accelerate shipping times for customers across the New Orleans metropolitan area.

The new 150,000-square-foot facility is located on Mounes Street near Dickory Avenue in Elmwood.

This state-of-the-art center is engineered for speed and efficiency. Inside, a sophisticated network of interconnected conveyors and advanced robotics works to pick, pack, and process customer orders within minutes.

This technological integration allows Amazon to fulfill its promise of same-day delivery for a wide array of products, bringing a new level of convenience to local shoppers.

The launch of the Elmwood site marks a significant investment in the region’s infrastructure and economy.

Beyond the immediate benefit of faster deliveries, the facility is a source of new job creation in Jefferson Parish, offering a variety of roles within the logistics and operations sector.

Local officials have welcomed the development, highlighting its positive impact on both the local job market and the services available to residents.

For consumers in New Orleans and the surrounding communities, the opening means that thousands of items can now be ordered and received on the very same day, a critical advantage for last-minute needs and urgent purchases.

The facility will serve as a crucial last-mile hub, ensuring that packages are sorted and dispatched to local delivery routes with unprecedented speed.

This development positions the Greater New Orleans area at the forefront of modern e-commerce logistics.
