IS COSTCO COMING TO NZ?

American bulk foods retailer, Costco has announced that it plans to open a store in West Auckland, pending consents for the Auckland Council. The retailer has already secured its location in West Auckland at the Westgate shopping complex. If successful, the world’s second-largest retailer could create 350 jobs.

The store will include not only supermarket and homeware shopping services but also a petrol station, tyre centre, food court, optometrist and hearing aid service.

It is estimated that the construction of the facility will cost around 90 million dollars.
