What is the Amazon Victorville opening date?
The Amazon Victorville store is scheduled to open in late 2022. The location is expected to help speed up the delivery process and bring more than 1000 jobs to the area.
Amazon’s massive footprint in Southern California has three fulfillment and sortation centers, three delivery stations, and five whole foods market locations.

The company also published its 2021 U.S. Economic Impact Report, which shows that it invested more than $19.3 billion in the Inland Empire and $81 billion in California since 2010. The report summarizes Amazon’s investments in the U.S., including infrastructure and compensation for employees (2010 – 2020).

Weathering the economic downturn
Amazon’s huge footprint in the Inland Empire has helped the region to sustain the economic downturn better than other parts of the country.
“The more than 40,000 jobs created by Amazon allowed the Inland Empire to weather the economic downturn better than our neighboring counties. More importantly, it provides our residents with local employment opportunities negating the need for multi-hour daily commutes, said Granillo.

A new air hub in San Bernardino
Amazon opened a new regional air hub in San Bernardino in April of this year to provide fast delivery for customers in the Southern California region. The company recently acquired the Eastgate Air Cargo Logistics Center, built by San Bernardino International Airport and Hillwood Enterprises, in 2019. This new hub will add 1000 full-time jobs to the region.
The Amazon Effect
Amazon is Inland Empire’s largest private sector employer.
The company came to California in 2012 when it opened a fulfillment center in San Bernardino. Since then, the company’s impact can be seen everywhere, from the number of jobs added to the secondary impact Amazon had on the local economies.
Amazon jobs in the Inland Empire grew from 2,700 in 2012 to more than 15,000 in 2016, adding 34,600 indirect jobs to the Empire’s economy in the same period.
One in Five of All New Jobs in Inland Empire’s Logistics Sector
According to an estimate, Amazon added almost one in five of all new jobs created in 2012-2017 in the Inland Empire region’s logistics sector. If you want to grasp the true impact of Amazon’s presence in the Inland Empire, read this detailed analysis by John Husing, chief economist for the Inland Empire Economic Partnership.
Apart from its impact on the employment count, Amazon generously supports its employees in taking up vocational training and certification programs. A one-year stint can open the doors for an Amazon employee to have the employer foot 95% of the cost of four years of vocational training or certification courses in high-demand fields.
The impact cannot be described more precisely than the way former City of San Bernardino Mayor Carey Davis explained it:
“In 2012, the city went into bankruptcy. And at that time, the city was over 12 percent unemployment,”. In 2018, the city achieved an unemployment rate of half what it was in 2012.
