Amazon opening Detroit office

DETROIT (AP) — Online retailer Amazon is opening a corporate office in Detroit and plans to expand in early 2016.

Seattle-based Amazon says it wants the downtown office that's celebrating its grand opening Monday to be a technology hub.

Amazon says the office will mean more full-time technology-focused jobs, but the company didn't say how many. Peter Faricy, vice president for Amazon Marketplace, says in a statement that Amazon is “focused on hiring in the state.”

Amazon says it has about 100 employees at the Detroit office with roles including software development, engineering and advertising sales.
