What to Expect When Costco Comes to Australia

An article on Inside Retailing’s site about how Costco could change (some might say, improve) the retail market in Australia.

Costco Check In, Let the Building Begin

City Council approves Costco’s plan to build in Kane County, Illinois

Costco’s plans for a new warehouse location near St. Charles, Illinois have been approved and construction may begin as early as this summer.

Word is that COSTCO is looking for property in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and SAM’S CLUB is examining sites in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Closest COSTCO is 3.5 hours away and with 150, 000 people within an hour, this area is still waiting for warehouse shopping at it’s finest!!!

Costco Coming to Saint John Area in Canada

Rumor has it that Costco will soon be breaking ground on a new store in New Brunswick, Canada on Saint John’s Retail Drive. Congratulations! From the comments on the news story it sounds like most people in Saint John are really looking forward to all the Costco bargains.

I thought I’d copy a comment here that was made on one of my other posts regarding new Costco locations.

K.M. // Jun 18, 2008 at 11:02 am

As a former and future employee of Costco with acquaintances who run the gamut of run of the mill employees and executives alike, I know that there is going to be a Costco store opening in Lake Charles Illinois in October, and possibly another in December in the Chicago-area. Hope that helps fellow Costcophiles, who enjoy shopping there as I do.

8 JimmyDaGun // 2008.07.07 at 11:25 am

From the various stories that I’ve read, the Bloomfield Township, Michigan location is set to be the largest (and most state-of-the-art) Costco in the US. According to employees, the new store is set to open November 13th, 2008. (Six months without my nearest Costco–I’m having terrible withdrawal pains!)

Costco Opens in Stafford (NJ)

The 152,000 square foot Costco opened in the new Stafford Business Park. Lots of eager new Costco members were there eagerly waiting when the doors opened 15 minutes early. Not surprisingly, they sold out of Wiis in 20 minutes!

Address for new location:
245 Stafford Park Blvd
Stafford Township, New Jersey 08050

Here are some links to more stories about the Costco expansion into Australia. The first store in Australia is slated to be in Melbourne’s Docklands area and will measure 12,000 to 14,000 square meters.

Here’s an interesting story about a guy starting a petition to get Costco to come to Knoxville, TN.

Online petition out to lure Costco to Knoxville

If you live in the Knoxville area and want to sign the petition, here’s the site: http://www.wewantcostco.com.

12 Malcolm Conlee // 2008.07.21 at 9:20 am

Any consideration to another COSTCO in Kentucky (specifically, the Lexington area and south). I moved from Huntsville, AL to Richmond, KY and one of the things I miss is the COSTCO warehouse. Yes, Lexington has a Sam’s Club, but it’s just not the equivalent of a COSTCO. It would seem that Central Kentucky would be a good location, at least as good as Huntsville, AL, in terms of per capita income, growth potential, etc. Toyota is established north of Lexington and work has started on the next major Kentucky industrial belt just south of Richmond. At any rate, I kept my COSTCO card membership up, just in case one comes this way…

13 Kimberly // 2008.07.21 at 9:34 am

It looks like your closest Costco is in Louisville. I haven’t been able to find any news or information about Costco looking at other locations in Kentucky or opening new stores in the state. I’ll certainly keep you posted with any information I get though.

Here’s the address of the Costco in Louisville, just in case you need a fix & don’t mind the drive:

5020 Norton Healthcare Blvd
Louisville, Kentucky 40241
United States

14 John White // 2008.08.13 at 1:11 pm

Apparently the COSTCO in Knoxville is on!

jsut wondering if Costco will be opening any stores in South West Missouri..Say Joplin or Neosho?

16 Kimberly // 2008.08.20 at 3:31 pm

I haven’t seen anything in the news about new stores in Missouri. I’ll be sure to post anything that I find out though.

Manteca Costco Opens Today

Costco’s new location in Manteca, California is open and ready for snapping up all of their good deals. They opened back in mid-August (around the 14th, sorry for the delay) to huge crowds of shoppers. It’s a giant sized 155,000 square feet with 3,500 products on its shelves, not including the gas station so you can get your cheap gas too. One of the coolest things about the story, has to be its 4 self-checkout lanes; I wish our Costco had some of those.

Address for the new location:
2440 Daniels Street
Manteca, California 95336
United States

Costco in Pocatello (Idaho) Opens October 23rd

Still well over a month away but if you live around Pocatello be sure to mark the 23rd on your calendar! The store opens at 8am on October 23rd, and if it is like new openings in other areas there will be a ton of people grabbing up all the great buys. And of course, trying all the delicious samples.

20 LJ // 2008.09.14 at 1:45 pm

Any rumors about any more Costcos for Wisconsin? Or at least the suburbs north of the North Shore of Chicago?

21 stan // 2008.09.22 at 3:19 pm

you may want to list the costco in bloomfield hills, mi…it’s being rebuilt and i think it’s suppose to be either the largest costco in the world or the most profitable…prolly b/c of all those suburb moms

22 Kimberly // 2008.09.24 at 12:21 pm

I haven’t heard or read anything about new Costco locations in Wisconsin or north of the Chicacoland area. I’ll let you know if I hear anything!

23 Tom // 2008.09.24 at 7:28 pm

I heard a rumor that a Costco was being built in Clermont, FL. but can find no supporting evidence. Do you know if it is true?
Respectfully,
Tom Stone

24 Paul // 2008.09.29 at 1:41 pm

I keep hearing that Costco is going to locate a new store in Clarksville, TN. Any truth to the rumor?

25 Elizabeth // 2008.10.03 at 9:32 am

I have heard from friends that Costco will be coming to Rockwall, TX . That would be great news for a LOT of people and I would gladly hold on to my membership for that reason. I have lived in this area for three years and was about to give up my membership since it is so far to travel to any of the existing locations considering the price of gas!!!

26 Kimberly // 2008.10.03 at 1:35 pm

To everyone wanting to know about stores opening near them, or rumors that a store might open near them, I promise that next week I’ll do a little research into all of the locations and rumors!

27 MJ // 2008.10.10 at 11:27 pm

Has anyone heard if there will be a Costco Store opening in Mohave County, Arizona?Rumor has it they have land in Kingman but that rumor has been around for a couple of years. Our nearest Costco’s is Las Vegas, about 2 hours away.

28 Jill // 2008.10.13 at 1:08 pm

Have you heard about a store being built in Apex, NC (outside of Raleigh)? Have heard some rumblings about it… but I can’t find any confirmation. Our nearest stores are in N. Raleigh and Durham. Thanks!

Pharr (TX) Approves Costco Construction

For all of you living around Brownsville wondering when Costco was coming to your neighborhood, the wait is over. The city of Pharr (TX) recently issued building permits for construction of a Costco near the intersection of Expressway 83 and Jackson Road.

30 Kimberly // 2008.10.16 at 9:19 am

I’ve tried to contact Costco to ask them if they have any publicly available information on any of the locations that everyone has been asking about. Unfortunately, I haven’t heard anything back from them yet. I’ll be sure to post anything I hear back.

31 Katrin // 2008.10.17 at 9:18 pm

I was just wondering what it takes to get a Costco to be built. I mean, what parameters or guidelines do they use to determine where they will build? Thanks.

32 Kimberly // 2008.10.22 at 11:32 am

Here’s the response that I received from Costco when I asked them about plans for new locations for the spots people have been posting about on here:

“Currently we do not have any public information regarding plans to open a Costco in those areas.

Our real estate department is continually looking for ideas for new locations around the country and around the world.

We will forward your suggestion to our Real Estate Department so they are aware of your interest.”

33 Tammy // 2008.11.11 at 5:49 am

I drove by the Brandywine, MD Costco this morning and there is a sign out front that says it opens tomorrow Nov. 12, 2008. I am so happy. I’m from Arizona and we love Costco. I have missed them so much. I even visited one while in Hawaii a few months ago. I fully understand your addiction.

34 John // 2008.11.14 at 1:47 pm

Any word on a Costco in Pensacola, FL?

35 Kim // 2008.11.15 at 11:45 pm

I see there’s a new Costco built in the Crossings in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada, but it’s not opened yet. The parking lot isn’t paved yet, but other than that, it looks like it’s finished. Any idea when it’s opening?

36 charitie // 2008.11.16 at 4:31 pm

Does anyone know of new store poenings in the Oregon/Idaho area coming in 2009?

37 John // 2008.11.23 at 9:20 pm

I heard that there is a plan to build a new Costco facility in Fairview Heights, or Marysville Illinois, if this is true what time would it be built.

Are there any plans to build a Costco in or around the Belleville Illinois area?

38 Margo // 2008.11.24 at 11:32 am

Any word on a new store opening in Asheville, NC?

39 H // 2008.11.26 at 11:57 pm

The newest Costco in Houston opened in October. It’s location is called “Galleria” which is the best known shopping district in Houston, but in fact it’s two miles east of the Galleria shopping mall. But a smart name from a marketing perspective. What I find most interesting is that this location is in an urban setting, with one of Houston’s major business districts (Greenway Plaza) literally across the street. To make maximum use of the valuable real estate, this Costco has a parking garage in addition to a parking lot. Plus, an LA Fitness health club will be located on top of the Costco store (on a second level on Costco’s roof). But the layout and ceiling height of the Costco is virtually identical to others I’ve been to. Staff is very friendly and even a month after opening, they still have tables outside every day for new members to sign up. Viva La Costco!

40 Mondo // 2008.11.27 at 2:55 am

I hear Costco is opening a store in North Aurora, IL any truth to this?

41 RIchard // 2008.11.28 at 6:22 pm

TIA

42 Del // 2008.12.09 at 9:36 am

Any news of Costco adding another Charlotte, NC, location near the Huntersville/University City areas? Our newspaper had reported in 2007 a Costco was planned but there’s been no update since then.

52 Layla // 2009.01.06 at 10:28 pm

Anyone know the opening dates for Lakewood CA or the Business Center Las Vegas?? Also looking for any stores opening soon in the UK or Canada??

53 Kimberly // 2009.01.08 at 10:51 am

I’ve added some new location information (at the top of the page) that I received from the super helpful Costco Customer Service people regarding upcoming warehouse openings. So far there are eight locations that will be opening between now and the end of June 2009. No locations in the UK on the list at this point. One new store in Canada, one in Japan, one in Taiwan, and the rest are in the US. And they were also nice enough to pass along some specific dates for the openings in Lakewood, CA, Kapolei, HI, Rockwall, TX, and Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

55 Amanda // 2009.01.11 at 3:50 am

Great site! I have heard rumor of a new Costco being developed in Paso Robles, CA. Any news on that? Thanks

56 kim // 2009.01.14 at 11:28 pm

Is there any word of new locations in Florida????

57 Don // 2009.01.18 at 11:29 pm

Is there any particular reason that there are no Costco’s at all in West Virginia? We have at least two Sam’s Clubs and I know that Charleston, WV or Huntington, WV could support a store.

Both cities are located on I-64 and we have ample development room! Right now I have a 3-4 hour drive to my nearest Costco’s in Louisville KY, Cincinnatti OH, Columbus OH, Pittsburgh PA, Richmond VA, or Charlotte NC. It’s so weird living in a Costco free bubble. There are locations all around WV but none within 3 hrs of me.

At least they deliver!!

58 Carol Olsen // 2009.01.23 at 7:08 pm

I heard Costco will be near The Villages, FL by next year? Please, please tell me it is true.

59 ashley // 2009.01.24 at 2:32 am

I work for costco and I haven’t heard any offical openings in the Villages area. There’s a lot of talk about Clermont/Leesburg but nothing offical…I been wanting to transfer to that area, so I have been keeping my ears open. I check this site daily for news on new locations bc I know there are more connections out there than just the mine. I can make a post if I hear anything.

60 John // 2009.01.24 at 10:29 pm

Kimberly any word of a Costco facility coming to the Fairview Heights Illinois area?

61 Bob // 2009.01.26 at 2:42 pm

Kimberly any word of a Costco facility coming to the Park City Utah area?

62 ashley // 2009.01.26 at 2:42 pm

As a former costco employee…I strongly advise anyone with questions or concerns about a particular location to leave a comment in the comment box. Everyday we input these questions/concerns to the corporate office. Trust me, it will help!

63 lisa // 2009.01.28 at 12:13 am

Would like to know if Costco is coming to Pensacola, Fl?

64 KC // 2009.02.08 at 12:37 am

Just moved to Montrose, CO. We need a Costco on the western slope! GJ already has a Sam’s. Please bring Costco to this area. I hear rumors of them putting one in Delta, CO… 20 miles north. Montrose IS the business hub for this area. Tell them to come to Montrose soon! We need them! I am dieing without my Costco fix!

65 anne r // 2009.02.09 at 1:48 pm

66 Terry K // 2009.02.13 at 2:07 pm

They are working on a Costco with a good bit of the frame up in Manchester, MO. (St. Louis County).
Anyone know an opening date???

67 Carl // 2009.02.16 at 10:41 pm

Anne—-I know they are considering Roseberg, OR, look for it later this year.

68 Tracy // 2009.02.19 at 12:35 am

Would like to know if Costco will be coming to Port Saint Lucie, Florida or Vero Beach areas sometime soon?!?!?

69 vicki // 2009.02.19 at 8:04 pm

There is a Costco in St. Geore, Utah. It opened in 2003. The area would not support a second one.

70 Kimberly // 2009.02.20 at 10:27 am

I’ve added a few changes to the list of locations for new Costco warehouses at the top of the page, including the new Business Center in Commerce, CA and the Australia location. I’ve also give more specific opening dates for a couple of the locations too.

I’ll check with Costco about the other locations that people are asking about and post my feedback soon.

71 Kevin // 2009.02.22 at 1:13 pm

Does anybody know where the new Business Center will be located in Hawthorne CA?

72 Keythe // 2009.02.23 at 8:19 pm

Was wondering about Newnan, Georgia. We were members before when we lived near the store in Marietta, but we moved too far away to keep the membership. Now we are members at a BJ’s since it is the closest warehouse store. We want our Costco back!! Any news on new openings in Georgia would be greatly appreciated.

73 Brad // 2009.03.07 at 10:36 pm

The most recent letter from the Mayor of Manchester, Missouri mentions that construction for the new Costco will start this month (March 2009). No word on when they will open, but I would guess in the Fall. The construction that is already underway at the Manchester site that was mentioned previously on this page is not Costco, but the new Walmart they are building next door to Costco’s location.

74 Al // 2009.03.09 at 3:36 pm

How about the Hilton Head/Bluffton area of South Carolina or Savannah Georgia? The area is still growing. Thanks.

75 Kimberly // 2009.03.17 at 9:15 am

Well, the Costco Customer Service folks weren’t as helpful this time when I asked about upcoming new locations, so all I can say is that I’ll keep checking the news and tips that I get and post anything I find.

Here are the locations that I specifically asked about this time: Northern Arizona, Paso Robles, California, Any locations in Colorado, Delta, Colorado, Montrose, Colorado, Clermont, Florida, Leesburg, Florida , Pensacola, Florida, Port Saint Lucie, Florida, The Villages, Florida , Vero Beach, Florida, Newnan, Georgia, Savannah, Georgia, Fairview Heights, Illinois, Any locations in Louisiana, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Medford, Oregon , Hilton Head or Bluffton, South Carolina, Park City, Utah, St. George, Utah, Colville,Washington, Charleston, West Virginia , Huntington, West Virginia, Any locations in West Virginia.

I also asked about the opening date of the new store currently under construction in Manchester, Missouri.

If I find anything out, I’ll post it here.

76 Keythe // 2009.03.21 at 9:19 pm

Thank you, Kimberly. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

77 Kamy // 2009.03.26 at 8:32 am

I have read on the internet that Costco is coming to Town Brookhaven in the Atlanta area and it is set to open Spring 2009. Any info on this one?? Thanks!

78 pja48142 // 2009.03.29 at 9:13 pm

Costco won’t admit it, but is building a new store in Strongsville, Ohio. They were just as coy about the store here in Toledo until they were ready to make the announcement.

Kim, anything happening in north San Diego county? They just remodelled one in Vista, Ca….any new stores or more remodels in the works? Thanks for the info!

88 Johnny // 2009.04.11 at 3:55 pm

I currently transfered to Pocatello Idaho for the very first opening in the area. I thought it would be a fun experience to open a Costco in a new area. I was horribly wrong though!! The town is primarily made up of lower income people who are racist and practice religious descrimination. The towns religious base is around 85% Mormon. Most the buildings are run down and the roads are falling apart.There is nothing here that could appeal to anyone unless you are “trailer trash” or Mormon. Iam still clueless why Costco came in here in the first place and concerned as a stock holder in the company. The store week in and week out looses money and is always ranked as one of the worst in the world if not the worst. All the management staff that transfered here is Mormon along with the warehouse manager and they let you Know your not one of them. The store is ran horribly which makes me think a bunch of idiots got the promotions to come here besause no one else wanted it. Costco would do themselves a favor by shutting this store down firing there upper management and getting out of this deprived crap whole town as soon as possible.

89 Joel // 2009.04.11 at 4:02 pm

Does anyone know when Costco is going to open in New Orleans

90 Aaron // 2009.04.17 at 12:45 pm

In repsonse to /JOHNNY/

What a horrible message you left. It sounds like you are the racist biggot. Their’s nothing at all wrong with Pocatello Id. It’s a small city that lies in a primarily agriculture area in Idaho. Yes, it is not rolling in the dough, but your response is ridiculous. Their is nothing wrong with the Mormon religion as well. I’m not a Momon, but had lived in Idaho for awhile and knew many. They are some of the kindest people you will ever meet.

Now as far as new locations go, I can’t beleieve Gainesville Florida is not on the map. It would be an ideal location and draw people from many of the surrounding counties that do not have a Costco. Their is only 1 Costco location in North Florida I know of (Jacksonville) and it is just too far to travel their for many.

91 Cheryl // 2009.04.20 at 12:57 pm

I live in Northern Michigan (Petoskey). The closest Costco is 3 hours away. Would they even consider coming up here? The only thing closer is Sams club which does not carry much of what I would eat nor are their prices worth driving 75 min. for. If it is not in the workings, maybe you and a few others could put in a good word for us. Petoskey is really starting to boom, it would be nice to see one nearby. Thanks!

92 Rosalyn // 2009.04.22 at 2:36 am

Any talks about another Costco opening up in Austin., Texas or surrounding area? Any news?

93 tikikim // 2009.04.22 at 12:09 pm

There was a store that opened in Rockwall TX a couple weeks ago. Nothing else planned in TX at the list I just saw.
There are plenty opening in Australia, Mexico and Japan this year, but as far as the US, there is a new business center opening in Commerce CA on 7/23/09. Thats about it!

94 Cebo // 2009.04.22 at 12:49 pm

There is no Costco in Midland, TX either. Two Sam’s Clubs but NO Costco! I called and they said they would consider it in the future????

I was in the new Costco in Dartmouth N.S. a couple days ago to confirm the Grand Opening Date where I was advised that it was the 13th of May, Not the 7th as reflected on this site. Staff are there simply to take new memberships at this time and were surprised when I told them about the opening date of the 7th of May as reflected on this site. Its getting close to opening time but perhaps not too late for the administrator to make a correction on the date.

96 Karen // 2009.04.26 at 9:28 am

Relocating from Chicago area to Cedar Rapids, IA and wondering if Costco has any plans to consider this area for a new location? Currently there is only one Costco in the state of Iowa, in DesMoines. Cedar Rapids and surrounding Iowa City (home to the University of Iowa) has a very strong and stable economy despite the current national economic conditions. Hopefully Costco is aware of that and can offer their superior brand to the residents of this area, and give them a choice over the current Sam’s Wholesale Club.

97 Kimberly // 2009.04.27 at 9:23 am

I updated the date for the Dartmouth, NS store. I had originally received the opening date from Costco HQ but I guess the schedule slipped by a week.

98 Kimberly // 2009.05.04 at 9:29 am

Chris just put this comment on my post about Costco being #24 on the Fortune 500, so I thought I would make sure it was posted here too.

Manhattan Store is coming!!! East Harlem where Home Depot is…. Taking over there lease… They will open with a Mega Target Store right next to it.

Costco is having some issues finding large enough parcels of land to purchase for future warehouses in Australia, apparently. This article also points out though that the Melbourne store will be opening this July and a location is Sydney will be opened in 2010, at least that is the plan.

Has anyone heard any news about a Grand Junction Colorado store?

101 quadkids // 2009.05.10 at 8:57 am

From what I’ve heard…..Manchester/Chesterfield, MO is schedualed to open Nov 2009. The store in Strogsville, OH is also planned for a late 2009 opening.

Costco New Opening in Dartmouth, N.S.

I was in the new Dartmouth Crossing location this a.m. It was scheduled to open at 8:00 but it opened before. Clinical, lets hope it stays that way for sometime. All the dignitaries from all over Canada just happen to be there to greet and meet us customers at the front doors. I have a question, will you be supplying Propane tank and gas at this Costco, if so, what is the cost of a new tank and filled with gas (approximately).

Also, my daughter has accessibilty on my membership and continues to shop with it, however, now that you are close to our residence my husband would like to use my card to shop. Can more than one person remain and what is the costs for 3 people in the family sharing my number.

Thank you
Gail Arnold

103 Kimberly // 2009.05.13 at 11:25 am

Gail, I’m not affiliated with Costco in any way, so I’m not able to answer your question regarding the sale of propane tanks and gas at the new Dartmouth location.

With regards to the having more than 2 people on a membership account, that is against Costco’s membership policy. The primary member can have a one free household card that can be used by someone at the same address. However, if you have a Business membership you can add a second primary person to the account for $40. Of course, you might as well just get a second membership then.

For all the information regarding Costco membership, check out the Costco.com membership page.

104 edward // 2009.05.14 at 5:23 am

any new word on the tampa one its address is posted has construction started ?

105 Ryan // 2009.05.18 at 12:34 am

The Costco location at Paradise Valley mall in Phoenix, AZ (which was pushed back to September 2010), is now back on track to open later this summer. The location is expected to open for business on September 19th.

106 jasmine // 2009.05.21 at 11:59 pm

Any Florida locations coming soon??

107 jasmine // 2009.05.23 at 12:31 am

<>…Where did u hear that Costco was coming to Tampa?!? I haven’t heard anything and was told that Costco was not in the line up for Tampa…

108 Kimberly // 2009.05.26 at 10:26 am

The opening date for the new location in Australia has been pushed back to the middle of August, instead of the planned July opening date. Here’s an article with some information (but no specifics really about why the delay): Australian Food News: Costco’s Launch Delayed.

109 Kathryn Charles // 2009.05.27 at 12:32 pm

I heard they have the land for a Costco in Wasatch County, near Park City and Kamas Utah.

Do you know if they are intending to build and when they will break ground?

110 G3 // 2009.05.28 at 8:10 am

Will Costco ever open a store in Rochester MN? We’re one of the richest cities in the USA with an average income of $197,000 per household. How come they haven’t opened a store out here? If they did everyone who is a Member of Sam’s Club would jump ship almost immediately to their store.

111 wood // 2009.06.08 at 7:26 pm

Does anyone have any information about a costco possibly coming to Lincoln Nebraska? I heard they were strongly pursueing property there, and then they backed off because of the economic situation. If anyone has any info, that would be greatly appreciated.

112 daniel // 2009.06.09 at 9:40 pm

Is there any information on the Pensacola, FL location? I’ve found stuff that says sometime in 2009, but nothing more.

113 Lars // 2009.06.10 at 12:28 am

I live in Hsinchu, Taiwan and the banner outside the Costco says it will only be opening in July. So unfortunately today is not our lucky day!

114 Kimberly // 2009.06.10 at 9:52 am

Hey Lars, thanks for the notice that my date for the opening of Hsinchu, Taiwan store was incorrect. I’ve updated the dates for some of the other store openings too. There are now 4 openings in July.

115 Kimberly // 2009.06.10 at 9:55 am

I’ve been remiss and haven’t pestered the nice Costco Customer Service folks about all of the locations that everyone has asked about. So, today I’m going to send them a big list and see if I get any useful responses.

Meanwhile, here’s an article that talks briefly about Costco opening 23 new stores in 2010, including 2 to 3 business center type stores.

116 Mark Roth // 2009.06.13 at 9:13 am

Do you have the status of the Costco being built in Strongsville, OH and the latest planned opening?

117 Lars // 2009.06.14 at 11:28 pm

Costco in Hsinchu, Taiwan opening date was announced on TV. July 9th, 2009. Can’t wait!

118 DMF // 2009.06.16 at 2:22 am

Any word on if the Redmond, WA store is under construction yet, or when it is scheduled to open? I heard that they were supposed to start construction April 1st, but don’t know if it really did or not.

119 Kimberly // 2009.06.18 at 8:29 am

Sadly, I received the stock ‘no public information available’ when I asked the Costco Customer Support people about all of the locations that everyone has asked me about in recent weeks. So, I’m going to try to find out some answers in some other way. Maybe I’ll send them a physical letter or a fax to the Real Estate department. I’d at least like to be able to answer the people who can see the stores being built and just want to know the proposed month of the opening.

I’m trying, everyone! I’ll post any updates that I can dig up.

120 john anderson // 2009.06.19 at 12:14 pm

I read a article that a Costco will be opening up in Wichita, KS soon is there any truth to this?

Thanks for the website

121 Kimberly // 2009.06.19 at 12:31 pm

The only articles that I could find regarding a Costco opening around Wichita was from 2002. And obviously, that would have been built already.

122 Barb // 2009.06.20 at 9:44 pm

Would love to see and hope there will be a Costco in Knoxville, Seymour or Sevierville, TN. We have to drive 3 hours to go to a Costco. We do not like shopping at Sam’s Club. For two years I have been writing to Costco and they keep saying it is not on the list and not have been yet deciding to have one here. Hope there will be one here someday, they will be making alot of money for sure!

123 Musashi // 2009.06.20 at 11:49 pm

Does anyone know if a Costco will be opening around Abingdon, Virginia or Bristol TN/VA? I’ve kept hearing rumors but I can’t verify if they are true or not.

124 kelly // 2009.06.22 at 9:36 am

The new Costco in Strongsville, OH is scheduled to open in November 2009 according to the Cuyahoga County Planning Commission. My husband gets info on liquor permit requests… which they have applied for. CAN’T WAIT!

125 Kimberly // 2009.06.22 at 9:39 am

Kelly, thanks for the update about the Ohio Costco. I’ve added it to the list of upcoming openings!

126 Steve // 2009.06.22 at 12:57 pm

I’m looking forward to the Costco in Manchester, MO…….Back in October they were supposed to have broken ground some time in November. I guess there were some delays.

127 Steve // 2009.06.24 at 12:28 pm

Any update on the Manchester MO, location, the sign for the property has been up for almost a year, the Wally World is almost complete and just a big empty lot where I assume the Costco is supposed to go…

128 Kimberly // 2009.06.24 at 12:32 pm

I’m still trying to get some actual information regarding new store openings, but so far no luck. But I’m going to keep trying!

129 Erick // 2009.06.24 at 8:26 pm

i was wondering when do they start hiring people. For example, there suppose to open a costco in july here in Commerce CA however i applied long time ago and i havent been called. Does anyone know when they start calling or if they have been called already.

130 Joe // 2009.06.25 at 1:26 am

The new Business Center in Commerce Ca will open on Thursday, July 23rd 8:00 am. With an open house on Wed July 22nd from 6:00 to 8:00pm , this is just an open house, no transactions will be made. As far as hiring goes, over 8,ooo applications were reviewed. And for the most part, the hiring stage is complete. The building is mostly complete and they have already started receiving product. From the looks of it, they just need to pave the parking lot and finish up the gas station. I also know that they will be having special promotions they call “Hot Buys” for July 23rd and 24th that are exclusive to the business center. I can post those later if anyone is interested.

131 Erick // 2009.06.25 at 4:06 pm

What a bummer i know around 10 people and know one got a single call from them and the thing that gets me mad is that it was suppose to give city of commerce residents an advantage.

132 Whit // 2009.07.01 at 3:16 pm

I have asked several warehouse employees in st peters mo and in south county at louis mo about the opening of a costco in Manchester mo and they have told me November of this year. There are also signs with costco logo on them among the other stores being put in in this shopping center. But they have yet to break ground as far as I can tell. Any word on that?

133 Ken // 2009.07.04 at 11:09 am

I live near the Manchester, MO site and it is an empty lot with numerous delays. I have asked my alderman about it and he keeps saying “soon” for the groundbreaking. He did say that Costco had applied for a business license, which is a good sign.

Are they doing one in Chesterfield, too? someone mentioned that city in a comment above.

134 Todd Matney // 2009.07.05 at 1:30 pm

Since Costco is not in Lexington, KY I am going to have to move where there is one…that means I will also need a job. So Costco get ready to hire me when I get there!! Thanks!

135 Nathan Beach // 2009.07.06 at 6:42 pm

Any new rumors of a location coming to Lexington, Ky?

136 Kimberly // 2009.07.07 at 7:57 am

I’ve tried a few different ways of contacting the Costco real estate people to get some decent information regarding new locations, but they are pretty mum on the topic. I guess I’ll just have to start relying more on Google than Costco for this information. I can’t find anything online that indicates Costco is opening a store in Lexington, KY, even after looking through a bunch of city/county government items online.

137 Kimberly // 2009.07.07 at 8:06 am

With regards to the Manchester, MO Costco, there appears to be nothing online about why the store is so late in opening. I read through some Board of Alderman documents from the city where they discuss Costco but they were all acting like they would be breaking ground on the store in November 2008 and be open by the end of Summer 2009. They haven’t mentioned Costco in any of the meetings since February and that was just to repeat that Costco would be open by the end of the summer and it might cause traffic issues.

138 beshy // 2009.07.10 at 12:48 pm

so any news on oklahoma city, we have 5 sams clubs, doing very well, we have to drive to dallas for 3 hours to go to costco

139 Steve // 2009.07.14 at 3:11 pm

I was in one of the St Louis Costco stores this weekend and was talking to a local employee, he did tell me that the store in Manchester will be completed, for some reason it is just running late, he thought opening in September but…. well the location was just covered with seed and straw in the past few weeks so im thinking its not a September opening. He did tell me that one of his co workers was hired as a department manager, he said they are hiring so its just a matter of time it sounds like.

140 Tom J // 2009.07.16 at 6:35 pm

I just read everything posted since 3/31/08 and saw no mention of the new Costco location in Newburgh, NY. Last Fall, the Newburgh Marketplace development announced that they had signed Costco, Best Buy and a few other big boxes. Their website is sadly out of date so I’m wondering what the status is. Naturally, Costco won’t comment.

141 Steve too // 2009.07.19 at 3:05 pm

I have word from an excellent source, the Mayor of Manchester, MO, David Willson, that Costco is set to open in Manchester in about 120 days, weather permitting.

142 Ken // 2009.07.20 at 6:32 pm

I drove past the Manchester MO site today. Contruction trailer and equipment are in place and the dirt is being moved significantly. Finally under way. Nice new Walmart next door is close to opening.

143 Lora // 2009.07.26 at 7:38 am

What a great site! Thanks for all you do Kimberly!

Rumor is we’re getting a Costco near a brand new Walmart here in Irmo SC – given Ken’s comment, wonder if this is a new business plan for them? Sams Clubs are usually near Walmarts around here so maybe Costco”s trying to get the jump – I’ll take a Costco in the Columbia SC area anywhere they want to put it!

144 RIchard // 2009.07.26 at 2:43 pm

Still waiting to hear about Greenville/Winterville, Ayden NC. The rumors are still going around.

145 Chris Walker // 2009.07.26 at 10:06 pm

I hear they broke ground for a Costco in Queen Creek, AZ 85242. Is this ture? If it is any news on when the open date is?

146 Kimberly // 2009.07.28 at 6:09 am

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to get any information about new locations out of Costco. I’m still hoping that I can find someone that can/will give me this information though.

147 Kimberly // 2009.07.28 at 6:12 am

Thanks, Lora!

It would be a good move to try to get in next to either a Walmart or a Sam’s Club for Costco, I think. They could get more converts that way, I’ll bet.

148 Kimberly // 2009.07.29 at 7:26 am

Here’s a very quick story about Australian Costco, and their plans to open in Sydney.

The chain is aiming to gain approval to build an Australian headquarters and first Sydney store at a site on Parramatta Road in Sydney.

A new Costco is being built in Warrenton, Washington off of US Highway 101. This new location is set to open in November and will take the place of the existing Warrenton location. The new warehouse will be twice the size of the existing store and will have hearing and an optical centers, a full food court and carry the other 20% of items that normal Costco’s carry but the existing store was always too small to hold apparently.

151 Steve // 2009.08.05 at 3:47 pm

Well Manchester MO is under way, the steel is going up and there is a big hole in the ground for gas tanks I assume, should not be long now!

152 beshy // 2009.08.05 at 4:10 pm

so any news about costco in OKC yet, any response is much appreciated, thanks

153 npd // 2009.08.08 at 1:43 am

There are currently postings for transfers to the new openning of a warehouse in Charlotte NC.
I have also been trying to find out about the interest in the Wichita, Ks location. At this point, no one knows why it was never put in.

154 Mike // 2009.08.08 at 1:15 pm

Costco to open in Fredericton, New Brunswick Canada. Here is the site plan from Trinity Development who own and manage the Corbett Centre:

155 Coctco Kid // 2009.08.09 at 9:45 am

Anyone advise how long it takes to build a Costco once the land clearing begins? 6 months perhaps?

156 Kimberly // 2009.08.11 at 7:17 am

I haven’t been able to get any news or useful comments from Costco on their future store locations. They always tell me they don’t have public information available on just about any location I ask about. I can’t believe that they don’t have at least one location in Oklahoma City though. It seems like a perfect opportunity for them because it is a big enough city to support even more than one Costco. Maybe they are unable to find a good piece of property for a reasonable price?

157 john // 2009.08.12 at 5:47 pm

I heard costco is building a new store in Murfreesboro, TN? Is that true?

heard a rumor will there be a costco built in Bristol VA would love to have one Sams is no comparisons

161 Kimberly // 2009.08.26 at 8:39 am

Good news for those in Roseburg, Oregon that have been waiting and hoping for everyone to agree that a new Costco would be a good addition to the city. The city council unanimously approved an annexation and zone change that would allow the wholesale giant to build in town.

I’m excited for you guys, and I don’t even live in Roseburg. This situation has dragged on for quite some time, so hopefully this will get the ball rolling finally and soon you’ll be able to shop at your brand new Costco.

162 Kimberly // 2009.08.26 at 8:45 am

Other good news on the location front for folks in San Marcos area around San Diego. Costco has plans to build a bigger and better store, adjacent to the current location. Here are some of the details from a story covering the proposal:
“Costco is proposing a 148,300-square-foot store adjacent to the existing 135,000-square-foot store at 725 Center Drive near the Escondido border.
The existing store would remain open during construction.
Plans call for a tire center, a food court, a car wash and a members-only self-serve gas station, said Jerry Backoff, San Marcos’ planning director. Costco officials did not return telephone calls seeking comment.”

You can read all about it here: SignOnSanDiego.com – Costco Planning to Expand with New, Larger Warehouse.

163 Kimberly // 2009.08.26 at 9:23 am

The City Council for Burnsville in Minnesota (somewhere near Minneapolis, I’m guessing) has made some ordinance changes that will allow for a new Costco store to be built along County Road 42 between County Road 5 and Interstate 35E. Apparently, they will be making a new business distract around the Burnsville Center that will allow Costco to open a new warehouse in the area. Here are some details about what the new ordinances would entail:
“The new ordinance will create a business district in the area around Burnsville Center that will be exempt from certain restrictions. Thus, Costco will be able to sell beer and wine without doing so from a freestanding building. It also does not have to be concerned about restrictions on how close it is to any existing liquor stores.”

164 Kimberly // 2009.08.27 at 8:53 am

Here’s some additional information about the City Council approval regarding the Roseburg, Oregon Costco.
City Council approval regarding the Roseburg, Oregon Costco. Here’s a quote from the story that is possibly the best news for people in this area: “If all goes as planned, a Costco store could be up and running by next November, said Peter Kahn, Costco’s director of development for the local project.”

165 Charles // 2009.08.30 at 1:18 am

I heard a rumor about a possible location in Redmond, Oregon. Anyone else heard this?

166 Dedee // 2009.09.01 at 4:47 pm

PLEASE tell me there is a plan in the works to build a Costco in South Alabama Mobile, Daphne, Fairhope, or Spanish Fort area.

167 Gary L. // 2009.09.06 at 12:48 pm

I know for a fact that costco is opening a store near me in Pacoima, CA 91331on Paxton. Yet, I see no information about it. I am just wondering whe we can expcect it to be finishd.

168 wood // 2009.09.11 at 2:46 pm

Does anyone have any information regarding a new costco coming to the Knoxville, Tennessee area.

169 Kathy // 2009.09.11 at 8:57 pm

I Live near Green Bay Wisconsin just wondering if we could possibly be getting a Costco here anytime in the near future?

170 Rick // 2009.09.12 at 4:38 pm

To MJ,
Costco will be going in at Lipan blvd. and hwy 95 in Fort Mohave AZ. (ground has been cleared and pad roughed in around 5/09) Construction is probably waiting on the economy to pick up.
Date: 9/12/09

171 ellyn Rosas // 2009.09.15 at 10:06 am

What on earth prevents Costco from opening stores in such places as Louisiana, Mississippi, etc? I live in New Orleans and sorely miss the Oregon and California stores. Or—–where can I order from Costco?

172 Maryann Bottum // 2009.09.15 at 1:11 pm

When are we going to get a Costco in Chesapeake, VA. There’s a great location on Battlefield Blvd. right across the street from Sam’s. We sometimes shop at Sam’s but onlybecause it’s closer. We like Costco better and they take American Express. The store in Norfolk is overwelmed. Please, please consider this location.

173 Ashley // 2009.09.15 at 10:13 pm

Ellyn, you can order from costco.com, although they do not carry the exact same merchandise as the store. (But often shipping is included in price)

And I think that the new store in Warrenton is Oregon, not Washington. Anybody know of any other new stores opening in the Pacific Northwest?

174 Anon. // 2009.09.16 at 3:13 am

Don’t count on them putting one anywhere near a Sam’s. Costco’s strategy is generally to build as far away from Sam’s as possible, while still being in a good (often growing) area for business.

175 John // 2009.09.16 at 3:33 am

Anon,
I doubt Costco would have any hesitation in opening up near a Sam’s , in fact they would probably relish the opportunity to take their members as they have opened up in Sam’s markets previously and done quite well. However, if they did open up accross from Sam’s, I would think Sam’s would immediately be looking for a new location to re-locate to far from the new Costco.

176 Mark // 2009.09.20 at 9:45 pm

Heard a rumor of possible store in Flemington, NJ. Has anyone heard if this true?

177 Anon. // 2009.09.22 at 12:00 am

John, I’m not disputing the fact that Costco CAN go head to head with Sam’s, I’m saying that as part of their business strategy, in most markets, they just aren’t building near existing Sam’s very often at all.

178 Matt // 2009.09.29 at 8:46 pm

Anon,
I don’t now where you get your info about Costco building as far away for Sam’s as it can. All of the current Minnesota buildings are in the same city or in the next burb from a Sams Club. As JOHN said Costco relishes the chance to go head to head with some of Sam’s best stores. The Minnesota market is new in comparision to other markets that have Costco’s, but this market must NOT be part of Costco’s strategy. I am guessing if they do build in Burnsville, MN that would make it six buildings in the same city or a burb away (off the same major highway) as Sam’s Club.

179 Kimberly // 2009.09.30 at 5:28 am

I’ve been meaning to post a comment about the Sam’s Club and Costco proximity statement too. The Costco that I shop at in Austin has a Sam’s Club less than 1/2 a mile from it; it would be about a 2 minute drive probably. And one of the Costco’s that my mom shops at in Kansas City is the same way with a Sam’s just down the street from it. I think that Costco feels confident that they can easily stand a head-to-head competition with Sam’s Club.

180 Kimberly // 2009.09.30 at 6:49 am

Well, it is finally completely official, Costco can open a new store in north Roseburg, Oregon! After putting the store on hold for more than a year, the Roseburg City Council approved on second reading an ordinance approving Costco’s request to annex about 20 acres into the city and to rezone the property.

do you think there is any possibiliy that any new costco,s will be going to the michigan area??? namely, traverse city, petosky, sault st. marie, gaylord, manistee. the closest one to the entire upper area of michigan and the upper peninsula is the one in grand rapids. even though the economy is bad it is still a huge vacation home-ownership area with the retirement population GROWING!! as in the prescott az area, the town is primarily made up of retired persons. the twon grew, but how did they know that ten years ago. at that time it was still a dirt street area. upper michigan area could use the boost to their economy as well as many other towns across america.. please respond amr

It is going to be about 2 to 3 years for another Michigan Warehouse.

Moved from Atlanta and loved Costco!! Any chance of one coming to Savannah? It would be a big hit here!!

190 Ray // 2009.10.23 at 9:26 pm

Has there been any talk of a new location for Sydney, Nova Scotia? We have a lot of development happening in a business park and the construction workers seem to think Costco is coming to the area…. any truth? We drive 4 hours to visit Costco in Halifax! It would be nice to have one in our own back yard!

191 Elizabeth // 2009.10.28 at 3:27 pm

I keep hearing a rumor that Costco plans on building a warehouse at the intersection of Northpark Drive and Sorters Road in the Kingwood/Humble area of greater Houston in Texas. Is there any truth to this?

192 Orvin Drangstveit // 2009.10.30 at 1:51 pm

We of Albert lea ,Mn would like to have Costco think about locating here we have hwy 35 and 90 intersecting making it an ideal location

193 Mona // 2009.10.31 at 2:02 pm

I keep hearing about a new Costco in the Bolingbrook/ Woodridge, Illinois location. Is there truth to this and when is the proposed opening date?

Thanks.

194 Dennis G // 2009.11.08 at 12:38 pm

One new costco will be in Warrenton, OREGON not washington

195 Jase // 2009.11.09 at 5:25 pm

In west San Antonio, there is a new development that is proposed showing a Costco at 1604 & Potranco. Can anyone confirm? Area is sorely in need of one!! Muchas Gracias!

Anyone know of any plans for store in Santa Fe, NM? Sure would improve the quality of life in Northern New Mexico…

Thanks,

197 Robin // 2009.11.09 at 10:34 pm

I wish there was a way to find out what unique products various stores have.

This week I’m visiting family in the NY/NJ area and am getting to check out their local Costcos. Tonight I got a quick visit to the Edison, NJ Costco which carries a selection of kosher cold cuts and prepared foods I haven’t seen in the stores I’ve shopped in California or Florida. I would love to find kosher corned beef at $9.99 for 1.25 pounds near me. Or an expanded assortment of Hannah or Sabra lines.

I wish I could find out ‘if’ a store outside my usually shopping area had things like this that I can’t get at home!

198 Julie // 2009.11.11 at 9:17 am

Any validity to the rumor that Costco is coming to Springfield, MO at the new 60-65 interchange?

199 George // 2009.11.11 at 8:54 pm

Is there any word if Costco will be coming to the Allentown / Bethlehem are of eastern PA. The nearest stores are about an hour from here. I have been told that they are planning to build in Flemington, NJ by the folks in the store I shop in – which would help.

200 Jason // 2009.11.14 at 11:42 pm

Can anyone confirm if Costco will build another location in Iowa (in-between Iowa City and Cedar Rapids)? The Costco in Des Moines is a great place to go. I overheard last spring that there would be one but there’s no mention of it in print. TYIA!

201 Keb // 2009.11.17 at 12:15 am

It is so nice having COSTCOs in my town. They finally came to Colorado Springs, CO and now have 2 stores up and running in the last 18 months. No more driving to Denver to get my fix. (I couldn’t understand why COSTCO could put 8 in Denver and one in Gypsum, CO and not have one in Colorado’s second largest city… But it is OK now… Life is good)

If you ever get the chance to go to a store opening, I highly recommend it. New stores tend to open for business on Thursdays (and generally at 8am rather than the standard 10am), but the real party is the evening before. Leave your wallet at home (no sales are conducted on this day) and don’t eat beforehand – there is plenty to feast on at the event. If you have a keen eye, you can usually spot the CEO walking around the floor – I don’t think he has missed an opening of the 550+ stores yet.

Go COSTCO – (& thanks for not caving in to Coca-Cola predatory pricing). Any word on how the Australia store is doing?

202 Keith // 2009.11.19 at 1:39 am

Any word on if Costco is considering a location around Chattanooga, Tennessee? We have one Sam’s Club and it’s in the pits of a location. Costco could open in the North Georgia suburbs or Ooltewah, Tennessee – great growing locations! Our closest Costco locations are in Atlanta (about a two hour drive).

203 Dave // 2009.11.23 at 6:52 pm

Anyone have an update on a new store to be built in Marlboro NJ on Rt 9 ? It has been on/off /on for a few years. Would love to know if and when.

204 Brent // 2009.11.24 at 11:31 am

Still rumours about Grand Junction, Colorado floating around. Anything solid?

205 Tim // 2009.12.20 at 3:52 pm

Any word on a Knoxville,TN loacation we have been hearing rumors for years???

206 Matt // 2009.12.21 at 4:09 pm

Any word on whether Fort Wayne, IN is in the plans? Closest club is indy (110 miles away). Have one in Merrilville which is suburb of chicago and is quite a small suburb of that. Fort Wayne has 1 sams club only for a metro area of 500,000 or so.

207 mickey // 2009.12.22 at 4:17 pm

costco in marlboro new jersey is 100% approved according to its planning board.anyone else have other info?

208 Jim // 2009.12.25 at 9:10 am

Any truth to the rumor that Costco will open soon in Tiffany Springs area of North Kansas City?

209 gayle // 2009.12.28 at 10:04 pm

I heard that Costco had dropped out of its plans for a Redmond, WA facility based on the City of Redmond requiring a $5 million fee. I can’t find any information regarding this. Anyone know anything?

210 Leah // 2009.12.29 at 4:10 pm

Please Please Please bring a Costco to Tulsa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

211 Karen Johnston // 2009.12.30 at 3:42 pm

I love Costco!!!!! For the 6 years I have lived in Newnan, Ga., I have been waiting for a Costco to build here or Peachtree City or some where closer than the 30 miles I would have to drive to one. Now we are getting a Sam’s Club. To me, their is no comparison between the two….I want my Costco. I know times are hard everywhere. I have been unemployed for 2 1/2 yrs. so I know how the economy is but with all the people, shopping and the new cancer center that’s coming to this area, why not Costco. If Sam’s will build here, why not Costco!

212 roger freeman // 2009.12.31 at 8:05 pm

How nice it would be to build a cosco here in Madison Ohio The closest we have is in Mayfield and the new one in Strongsfield Soon to open ,,,, Walmart has a new super center here but I will NOT shop at walmart…..

213 alonzo valle // 2010.01.02 at 11:28 pm

is it true they are building a costco at lake county california

214 Kerry Lamming // 2010.01.03 at 1:55 am

I had heard that Costco was going to be building a new store in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario and that they were in the midst of acquiring property for their new store. Do you have any information about this? There is a significant amount of development taking place in Sault Ste. Marie and with a population of more than 120,000 within km, it would seem that the area be considered for a Costco.

215 Breanna // 2010.01.03 at 2:05 am

Does anyone know how I can apply for a job at a location that hasn’t opened yet?
I was interested in the Pacoima, CA location which will open in March.

Any help is much appreciated!

216 Adam // 2010.01.06 at 3:11 pm

Apply for jobs at costco.com (customer service). 91331 is the zip for pacoima.

Will there ever be a Costco in Oklahoma?? We would love one in Tulsa!! Please????

219 Kimberly // 2010.01.11 at 11:35 am

I haven’t seen anything in the news about a new Costco location in Oklahoma, or even something about them looking at land there. Sorry, OK folks.

220 mia // 2010.01.14 at 2:45 am

I recently heard that costco will be opening a location in downingtown pa this year, does anyone know anything about this?

221 Keith // 2010.01.17 at 7:57 pm

Costco will be opening a new store in Fort Oglethorpe, GA (Chattanooga, TN area) off I-75 on Cloud Springs Road. This is the first exit in Georgia going south from Chattanooga (the location was picked for sales tax and wine law reasons) and is only 1.5 miles south of the Tennessee-Georgia state line. The word leaked out at a meeting of the Catoosa County Water Board last Wednesday. Everything is apparently finalized, they are just signing off on some things with a potential official announcement in the upcoming week. Here is the article from the local newspaper: http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2010/jan/17/wine-laws-may-have-lured-costco/

222 Marv // 2010.01.19 at 2:52 pm

Re Oklahoma

Costco will be very cautious before entering the Oklahoma market. Oklahoma is basically ground zero for Sam’s Club and Wal-Mart. They have a huge market share in Oklahoma and will be very protective of their position in the state. They have saturated Oklahoma with stores. Costco will need to find a fantastic opportunity before they decide to build a store. I suspect that Costco sees better and safer opportunities in other areas of the country at the present time.

223 Scott // 2010.01.19 at 5:45 pm

Is Costco planning to build a store in or near Fort Collins, CO?

224 Jim McCurry // 2010.01.20 at 9:02 am

I understand from some local news media that there is going to be a costco comming to Fort Oglethorpe Georgia that is off of I-75 jut a few milese south of tn line where taxes are much cheeper as well as the sale taxex are cheeper this is suposible sliped out by one of the news media an the report of high wine sales gave it away ?????????? We all in the area think it is a good thing welcome

225 derek // 2010.01.28 at 3:18 am

I currently work for Costco In omaha Nebraska< to those wondering< the answer is yes, there is going to be a Costco In lincoln. They just ran into a few zoning problems

226 wood // 2010.01.29 at 4:41 pm

Derek, I work for a costco in Southern California and my wife and I are considering relocating to the Lincoln area. Do you happen to know when their planning on opening, sometime this year perhaps? If you have any other info that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

227 Mike // 2010.01.31 at 6:31 pm

There definitely needs to be a costco built somewhere between Destin, Fl and Mobile, Al. must be 3,000,000 + people in this area and land is cheap right now.

228 Kaye // 2010.02.01 at 10:39 pm

Does anyone know the closest costco to Jackson MS area?? Actually Brookhaven. I live in Oregon and we are thinking of relocating and we are HUGE Costco shoppers. Actually drive a hour each way now to shop. Just wondering “Where is the closest Costco in any direction from that point?”

229 Kimberly // 2010.02.02 at 9:11 am

You can go to the Costco.com website and search for locations pretty easily. You can search with a specific address or just a city and state or zip code. If you go to the Costco Locations page, I think you’ll be able to quickly find the information you’re looking for. I did a quick search though, and it looks like it’s going to be a long, long drive to Costco from Jackson or Brookhaven, like 200 miles at least. There apparently are no locations actually in MS, so you have to drive to TN.

230 Dan // 2010.02.03 at 7:37 pm

Please, Costco, build a store in Columbia, SC. My wife and I are tired of hauling all our friend’s purchases back and dividing up the receipts. We know a whole lot of folks who would be running to your store to shop. We shop in Charlotte, NC, Charleston and Greenville, SC when we go through the area. Otherwise, we have to settle for Sam’s. Any location in Columbia would suit us.

231 Gail // 2010.02.08 at 9:47 pm

Please look at Mooresville, NC. Moved here one year ago. I miss it terribly. We have a BJ’s but it doesn’t compare!

232 Debbie Strozier // 2010.02.13 at 10:27 pm

My DH is a 20-year employee for Costco in Maryland we desparately want to relocate to NC..have been hearing a Costco is in the works for the Apex, NC area for awhile now…someone in his store said it was in the works, but I can’t find anything to back that up…can anyone help me??

233 Donna // 2010.02.15 at 8:15 pm

I have heard that a Costco is coming to Columbus, Georgia. If so, when/where? Closest stores are in Montgomery and Atlanta, both 1-1/2 drive. Columbus is the last to get anything but the area is certainly large enough to support a Costco.

234 John // 2010.02.16 at 12:06 am

The Calgary, Alberta area ( Canada ) is slated to get 2 new Costco locations late this year if all goes well. 1 north of and 1 a little south of Calgary. This is desperately needed as the 3 currently in Calgary are too busy as it is. One of these Calgary locations is in the top 5 busiest Costco locations in the world according to the staff there.

235 John M // 2010.02.17 at 10:16 am

I just found out that the Flemingtion Costco deal fell through. So, it looks like it won’t open in Flemington. I am so sad, since I was waiting for it to open there with great hope…

236 LB // 2010.02.18 at 3:59 pm

Help us out here in the midwest!!!! We have been Costco members since 1994, recently relocated from West Coast to NE Iowa. A Costco in Rochester MN would be amazing! The closest is Madison, WI that’s 2.5 hrs, Minneapolis which is 3hrs or Des Moines, IA which is 4hrs… there are many people in and around southern MN, and northern IA that NEED a Costco!!!!

237 Jenn // 2010.02.19 at 12:27 pm

Does anyone know if a Flagstaff location is in the works?

238 Shawn // 2010.02.25 at 1:35 pm

Has anyone heard anything new on the Pensacola, Florida location? Costco looked there about 2 years ago but I haven’t heard anything new since then.

239 Kimberly // 2010.02.26 at 8:09 am

Costco is coming to Bolingbrook, IL toward the end of the year around November. This deal has been in development for several years, but it will finally get rolling this summer in July. It will be located at the northeast corner of Boughton Road and Interstate 355 in the Boughton Woodward Commercial Center. A portion of the property lies in Woodridge, which is one of the reasons why planning for the development took years to complete.

And it seems Costco is also looking at property in the Knoxville area. According to one realtor he’s been in discussions with them about a piece of property near the Lovell Road-Kingston Pike intersection, behind Walgreens. But even if they don’t buy this piece of land, at least they are looking for an opportunity to move to the area.

http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2010/mar/01/costco-looked-west-knoxville-site/

They’ve also been looking at a spot in a Turley-linked site across Campbell Station Road from Farragut Primary School.

Drama surrounds a plan for Costco to build a warehouse in Lodi. A pair of homeowners are appealing the planning commissions approval of a plan to build a Costco location because it will be just north of their 1 acre property. The couple have been in negotiations with Reynolds Ranch developer Dale Gillespie for years to purchase their home, but the two sides have not reached a deal. So, I guess since they can’t get the developer to pay them enough for their house, they’re trying a different tactic and could end up bringing a lawsuit. And that will certainly wreck Costco’s plans to open this new location by summer.

Costco wants to build a 149,000-square-foot store at the corner of Street and Jacksonville roads in Warminster (near Philadelphia). But it looks like some on the planning commission aren’t thrilled with the plans because they think it is too big for the 15 acre site and that they don’t need another place selling gas.

A new Costco location in Burnsville (by Minneapolis-St. Paul) looks pretty assured at this point. The Burnsville Planning Commission voted 6-0 on Monday to recommend to the City Council the approval of Costco’s application to build its first warehouse south of the river. Costco has a purchase agreement with Mike Grossman, owner of Grossman Chevrolet and Cadillac, for the 15.4-acre property at 141st Street and Burnhaven Drive, near Burnsville Center. If everything progresses as hoped, Costco will begin construction in July, with hopes to have the new store open by November.
