Costco coming to Adelaide

[judydawn]

I read in the paper the other day that Costco is going to build 2 of their stores here in Adelaide, the first is being planned right now with 2 sites being considered for it's location.  I do hope it is my side of town but I guess all roads will lead to a Costco store and it will be very welcomed by the good people of Adelaide.  This news will keep the big guys honest, a bit of competition is a good thing. Sorry Perth, I hope your State is next.

I saw this article too Judy - very exciting!

You'll love it JD and Karen. I travel to Sydney a few times a year just so I can shop there.
Happy for all of you in Adelaide.

Woohoo the only painful thing about Costco is the joining fee

[deedub]

That's exciting news - I'm sure it will do very well in Adelaide.

Lucky you, we will never get one in Cairns.

Can I ask what Costco is? Obviously a shop but is it like a big warehouse sort of thing
Is it like Aldi?

[judydawn]

Yes suzanne, it is like Aldi - a huge warehouse type supermarket selling anything from TV's, jewellery to bulk food, meat, vegies etc. You pay $60 a year for membership.  It's a bit like Ikea, you can spend the day there

I saw that article too. I wonder where they will build it? They will need a large site, so it is likely it will out  be North or South, unless they could use the old Mitsubitshi site?

Thanks Judy,well I definitely want one here in Perth

If it is south, I won't be going there - I don't do south further than Glenelg   North or West will be my preferred location.

lucky things, I wish it would come to Perth to!!

Maybe that what is planned for the old Le Cornu site in North Adelaide     Then we could all meet up for lunch after a day of shopping

[judydawn]

Let's hope they hurry up and make up their mind about which site to choose from the 2 they have in mind Karen.  Then they have to build it     Think we can probably slip in another get together before Costco is ready for us.
