Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN, Financials) is bringing its biggest retail store yet to the Chicago suburbs after getting the green light from the Orland Park Village Board this week.
The store will be 230,000 square feet and sell groceries, household items, and other things. Officials in the village were keen to point out that the new site will be a public store, not a warehouse or fulfillment center.
Amazon isn’t getting any tax breaks from the city, but the project is expected to bring in millions of dollars in new property and sales tax income, which will help pay for road and infrastructure improvements. There will be about 200 construction jobs available during the buildout, and about 500 permanent employment available when the shop opens next year.
The growth is a sign that Amazon is once again focusing on physical retail, as the corporation tries to find a balance between its online and in-person purchasing. People say that similar schemes are being thought about in other big U.S. markets.
