Amazon is planning a massive retail center in the Chicago suburb of Orland Park, Illinois. The 229,000-square foot store will be a Walmart-like supercenter, offering a wide range of products and services.

The Orland Park Plan Commission voted 6-1 to approve Amazon's proposal to develop 35 acres of land for the retail center. The project is expected to create hundreds of jobs and generate significant revenue for the local economy.

Amazon has been expanding its physical store presence in recent years, with a focus on offering a seamless shopping experience that combines online and offline channels. The company has already opened several Amazon Go convenience stores and Amazon Books stores in various locations.

The Super Amazon-mart store will be a significant investment for Amazon, and it will likely set a new standard for retail centers in the Chicago area. The store will offer a wide range of products, including groceries, electronics, clothing, and home goods.

The project is still in the planning stages, and Amazon has not announced a specific opening date for the store. However, the company has indicated that it plans to break ground on the project in the near future.
