Amazon is a global tech giant, founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994, originally as an online bookstore. Over time, it expanded into a massive e-commerce platform, selling virtually everything from electronics to groceries. Beyond retail, Amazon also leads in cloud computing through its Amazon Web Services (AWS), a major source of its revenue. The company has ventured into entertainment (Amazon Prime Video), artificial intelligence (Alexa), and logistics, with a global network of warehouses and delivery services. Amazon is one of the world's most valuable companies and has a significant influence on technology, commerce, and consumer behavior.

Amazon has distribution centers in the Hudson Valley area in Castleton-On Hudson, New Windsor, Rock Tavern and Hopewell Junction. Now a posting on social media is claiming that the first Amazon liquidation store is on its way to Poughkeepsie.

While some on the Facebook posts seem to think that it isn't real and the store isn't coming to the area, a Google search of Amazon Liquidation Stores seems to indicate that they do exist and they are a thing, just nothing around here. Yet! Amazon liquidation stores sell excess or damaged Amazon inventory at a discount. These items can be purchased through Amazon's Bulk Liquidations Store or third-party liquidation stores. If we find out more information on this store coming soon we'll update this article.
