Amazon.com (AMZN -1.65%) is ramping up its presence with the establishment of a trio of new fulfillment centers. Two of the three are located in Florida; one is in Hillsborough County, and the other is in Lakeland. Each will be over 1 million square feet in size, and according to the retailer, they will employ more than 1,000 workers combined.
