Could Costco be moving across the bridge?

Speculation is running rampant this week, in the wake of a conversation West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater had with a Costco employee that was picked up by several news outlets.

91ƵThe fellow at the Costco booth at (the) IPE volunteered that they were looking at the Westside for a new facility with more parking and it could also draw from the South Okanagan,91Ƶ said Findlater. 91ƵHe said their preference is the airport area but it is not available.91Ƶ

A media representative for Costco said that it is company policy to not comment regarding future Costco warehouses until they are ready to share details about the new location.

That usually happens two to three months in advance.

And Rod Shultz one of the assistant general manager91Ƶs of the Kelowna store went on a Costco Facebook group and said there have been no decisions on when or where the new location might go.

91ƵA lot of speculation out there and we may know more in the new year,91Ƶ he wrote. 91ƵUntil then all of this is just rumour and hearsay.91Ƶ

Since August of 1991 Costco Wholesale has been at the current location and around 400 people are employed at the store.
