HORRY COUNTY, SC — Amazon is expanding its presence along the Grand Strand with construction of a new delivery station, marking the company’s second facility in the region.
Work has begun on the project along Postal Way near The Wizard Golf Club. County land records show Amazon purchased the site for $6.2 million, with the transaction finalized in November 2025. The development signals continued growth for the e-commerce giant in coastal South Carolina.

Amazon officials say the new station will play a key role in speeding up deliveries while also bringing employment opportunities to the area.
Amazon spokesperson Owen Torres said the delivery station will create dozens of local jobs and support efforts to provide fast delivery and great service to local customers.
“We will work with our local partners to keep the community apprised of launch updates, hiring initiatives, and more,” Torres said.
The facility will function as a “last-mile” hub where packages are sorted and dispatched to homes and businesses across Horry County and surrounding communities.
Since first entering the state in 2010, Amazon has become one of South Carolina’s largest private investors. The company reports it has poured more than $8.5 billion into the state through buildings, technology, and employee compensation.
Amazon said its investments have contributed $8.7 billion to South Carolina’s economy and helped expand the state’s GDP. The company currently employs over 6,000 full- and part-time workers statewide and supports an estimated 4,500 indirect jobs in sectors such as construction, logistics and professional services.
Across South Carolina, Amazon operates four fulfillment and sortation centers, four delivery stations and four Whole Foods Market locations. The Horry County project will add another link to that growing network and is expected to improve delivery times throughout the Grand Strand.
Local leaders have welcomed the development, noting that new infrastructure and job creation continue to diversify the region’s economy, which has historically relied heavily on tourism.
Construction timelines and an official opening date have not yet been announced, but additional details are expected later this year as work progresses.
