NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — Amazon is set to add a same-day delivery facility in North Myrtle Beach, the Myrtle Beach Regional Economic Development Corporation said on Facebook.

Same-day delivery facilities allow the company to fulfill, sort and deliver orders all from one site, making the delivery process even faster.

The 165,000-square-foot facility will be located within the Palmetto Coast Industrial Park, according to the post. Launch plans are still in the early stages, with construction starting earlier this month.

“South Carolina is a great place to live and work, and we’re excited to be growing our operations footprint in Myrtle Beach,” said Amazon Manager of Economic Development Sam Blatt. “Same-Day Delivery facilities are finely curated to the areas and customers they serve, so product selection varies by city. It’s also one of our fastest ways to serve our customers, which improves the overall shopping experience. We appreciate the support of our great partners, including the Myrtle Beach Regional Economic Development Corporation, Horry County, and the City of North Myrtle Beach, and we look forward to sharing more details about this facility in the future.”

Amazon has created more than 6,500 full and part-time jobs in South Carolina since 2010. It also has invested $6.3 billion across the Palmetto State.

“On behalf of the city of North Myrtle Beach Council and staff, we welcome Amazon to our wonderful city,” Mayor Marilyn Hatley said. “With the growth in our area, Amazon will be a tremendous asset. The economic impact of their business in our area will allow our workforce to diversify and create more job opportunities. Thank you for believing in our area and welcome to North Myrtle Beach.”
