Louisiana FBA Warehouses

Amazon FBA Warehouses in Louisiana — 2026 State Guide

Louisiana hosts Amazon's LFT1 — the state's first fulfillment center, a 1 million square foot facility in Carencro (Lafayette area) that opened in 2021. Louisiana's position on the Gulf Coast and its unique economic profile (energy, ports, and agriculture) make it a distinct logistics market.

Key facilities

• LFT1 (Carencro, 1M sqft) — non-sort FC handling bulky items (patio furniture, outdoor equipment, rugs), at the I-10/I-49 junction, $100M investment, 500+ direct jobs. Built on the former Evangeline Downs Racetrack site.

What Louisiana FBA sellers should know

1. Louisiana's first FC — Before LFT1, Louisiana had no Amazon fulfillment center. The facility fills a significant coverage gap along the Gulf Coast.

2. I-10/I-49 junction — Carencro sits where I-10 (Houston to New Orleans) meets I-49 (Shreveport to Lafayette), providing access across Louisiana and the Gulf Coast.

3. Port infrastructure — Louisiana hosts the Port of New Orleans and the Port of South Louisiana (the largest tonnage port in the Western Hemisphere), providing massive import logistics capabilities.

4. Hurricane season (June–November) — Louisiana is highly vulnerable to hurricanes and tropical storms. Build inventory buffers for the Atlantic hurricane season.

5. Subtropical climate — Hot, humid conditions year-round require moisture protection for stored products.
