Congrats go out to my friends (especially Nick, the founder) over at Zappos.com. They recently sold the company to Amazon for nearly $850 million. This is huge news for Nevada, both North and South. Why? Amazon has slowly been building its presence in Nevada. They started with a warehouse facility up in Fernley several years ago. This was built to take advantage of the “no inventory tax” that Nevada has. Amazon expanded their presence with a warehouse in North Las Vegas. And now, they own one of the largest companies in Henderson.
Zappos.com has been recognized as one of the Best Places to Work by several major magazines and organizations. The culture that they have established is second to none. This sale could not have happened to a better group of guys. Congrats to all at Zappos.
