Strategic Location

LFT1 is Amazon’s first large-scale fulfillment center in Louisiana, built on the former Evangeline Downs site in Carencro, close to the junction of I-10 and I-49 in Lafayette Parish. This position links the facility directly to east–west traffic along I-10 and north–south flows via I-49, giving carriers efficient reach into New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, and the wider Gulf and South-Central markets. The 1+ million sq ft, non-sort facility is designed for larger, bulkier items, and its placement in a growing industrial corridor ensures strong trucking capacity and predictable appointment availability.
