How many Amazon warehouses in the US have closed in 2025 and where were they located?

1. Reno, Nevada — an aging fulfillment center replaced by same‑day strategy

Amazon announced it would not renew the lease on its long‑running Reno fulfillment center and slated the facility to close on August 2, 2025, a move tied to the company’s shift toward smaller, last‑mile and same‑day optimized facilities in the region; the closure affected roughly 325 workers who were offered transfers or severance, according to trade reporting ^{[1] [5]}. Industry coverage framed Reno’s shutdown as part of a broader logistics strategy—shuttering “aging” large fulfillment buildings in favor of nimble hubs closer to customers—while Amazon characterized the change as operational optimization tied to opening a same‑day site nearby ^{[1] [5]}.

2. Bensalem, Pennsylvania — a delivery station closed by summer’s end

Local reporting in Bucks County and regional outlets documented that Amazon’s delivery station on State Road in Bensalem, which the company had begun leasing in 2020, was scheduled to close by the end of August 2025, with the company saying employees were offered transfers to roughly 10 nearby facilities and that customers would see no delivery impact ^[2]. The PhillyBurbs coverage and local summaries emphasize Amazon’s explanation that periodic network adjustments—closing older sites, enhancing others, or opening new ones—are strategic decisions weighed against parcel demand and footprint optimization ^[2].

3. Port of Little Rock (LIT‑1), Arkansas — structural engineering issues force indefinite closure

Amazon’s LIT‑1 fulfillment center at the Port of Little Rock was closed on or about October 22, 2025 after inspectors and the company identified structural engineering issues; subsequent reporting in November 2025 said the facility would remain closed indefinitely while “significant structural repairs” and remediation to meet seismic codes are completed, with the company noting the problem stems from design errors in the initial construction ^{[3] [4]}. The Arkansas Democrat‑Gazette reported that thousands of employees were affected by the closure and that Amazon emphasized the closure was due to design and safety compliance work rather than ground‑settling, while local officials and engineers documented concerns about support column anchoring ^{[4] [3]}.

4. What these closures share — strategy, leases, and safety— and what the sources don’t settle

Trade and local outlets converge on two themes: Amazon is trimming and reconfiguring capacity that it expanded during the pandemic era, often not renewing leases on older facilities while building last‑mile capabilities, and at least one closure in 2025 (Little Rock) was driven by structural safety issues distinct from pure footprint optimization ^{[1] [5] [4]}. However, the provided reporting does not offer a definitive, exhaustive list of every Amazon facility that closed in the United States in 2025, and other closures or contractor‑run delivery center shutdowns are reported elsewhere in different years or with partial timelines—meaning the three locations above are documented closures in the supplied sources, not necessarily the entire national count ^{[7] [8]}.

5. Alternative perspectives and implicit agendas in the coverage

Industry outlets frame closures as calculated network optimization to improve delivery speed and cut excess capacity built up during e‑commerce growth, an angle that echoes Amazon’s corporate messaging about efficiency and customer experience ^{[1] [5]}, while local papers focus on worker impacts and safety concerns—especially in Little Rock—highlighting community and labor stakes; the reader should note that trade reporting may prioritize business strategy narratives while local reporting emphasizes jobs and municipal regulatory matters, so the underlying motivations reported vary with the outlet ^{[2] [4]}.
