April 30 (Reuters) – Amazon.com said on Wednesday it would spend more than $4 billion to expand its U.S. rural delivery network by the end of 2026, doubling down on faster shipments to drive up demand from shoppers in small towns and the countryside.
The investment will grow its rural delivery network to more than 200 delivery stations and create 100,000 jobs, the company, which is among the largest private employers in the U.S, said in a statement.
aster shipping has become a cornerstone of Amazon’s strategy, with the company pouring billions into its logistics network to stay ahead of rivals including Walmart and Target.
“Once the expansion is complete, our network will be able to deliver over a billion more packages each year to customers living in over 13,000 zip codes spanning 1,200,000 square miles,” Amazon said.
