Amazon.com Inc. has reinvented the shopping experience. At the same time, it has forced household and personal care companies to rethink their products, their presentations and their shipping costs. Now, Amazon is ready to reward one lucky North American city.
Today, the company released a shortlist of 20 metropolitan areas that it has chosen to move to the next phase of the selection process for the e-commerce giant's second headquarters, dubbed HQ2. Amazon said it narrowed the list from the 238 communities that submitted proposals. The areas that made the list, in alphabetical orders: Atlanta; Austin, Texas; Boston; Chicago; Columbus, Ohio; Dallas; Denver; Indianapolis; Los Angeles; Miami; Montgomergy County, MD; Nashville, TN; Newark, NJ; New York City; Northern Virginia; Philadelphia; Pittsburgh; Raleigh, NC; Toronto; and Washington, D.C.
Amazon said it would invest over $5 billion in the city where it opens HQ2, and create 50,000 "high-paying jobs." Think about all the laundry detergent and skin care lotion that could buy!
