PHOTOS: Missouri's first Amazon fulfillment center now open
ST. PETERS, Mo. (KMOX) — Missouri's first Amazon fulfillment center is officially open in St. Peters.
The 855,000 square-foot warehouse received its first item Sunday, which was a Kitchen Aid Classic Colander.
St. Louis Blues' mascot Louie and a Budweiser Clydesdale helped welcome new employees on opening day with an orange-carpet entrance. More than 1,500 full time employees will eventually work at the center.
The center, which is located in the Premier 370 Business Park at Highway 370 and Truman Road, still has positions to fill. Amazon associates receive a $15 hourly minimum wage including benefits starting from the first day of employment.
