Amazon Adding 700 Jobs To Tracy Fulfillment Center

TRACY (CBS13) — Amazon is expanding its Tracy facility with more than 700 full-time positions, the company announced on Thursday.

The openings are in addition to 100 the company announced in March.

Amazon workers are keeping L&L Barbecue and other restaurants in Tracy very busy.

"I like it being busy here," said cashier Jessica Lirio. "They're nice people and they always order a lot of food."

It's likely to get busier in town. Amazon announced on Thursday that it's hiring for 700 new, full-time jobs.

When Amazon first came to Tracy, Mayor Michael Naciel had high expectations when Amazon opened with 1,000 jobs.

"Not blown-away surprised, but happily surprised that some of our expectations are coming to fruition," he said.

An Amazon spokesman says the company expects a good mix of Tracy locals and outsiders to apply.
