The Georgia facility is the fifth new Amazon.com distribution center to be announced this year and means that by the busy 1999 holiday shopping season, Amazon.com will have more than 3.5 million square feet of space at seven distribution centers nationwide -- more than 10 times the distribution center floor space the company had in 1998. Amazon.com's Georgia distribution center will play an integral role in the company's overall global logistics strategy and is part of the company's effort to develop a significant distribution infrastructure to meet long-term growth and provide Amazon.com customers nationwide and around the world with fast, reliable shipping that comes directly from the company. The 800,000-square-foot Georgia facility will be the largest Amazon.com distribution facility to date and will allow Amazon.com, the Internet's No. 1 video, No. 1 music, and No. 1 book retailer, to increase significantly the number of books, CDs, videos, and other products kept on hand for immediate shipment to customers. LOL...I am sure happy I do not believe in the future here:-))))))) Online model: 1. Very little brick and mortar costs. 2. Very little inventory. 3. Few employees Hmm.. what is the head count now?
