Costco Moving?

Costco Moving?

Jan 16, 2019 | 2:31 PM

Officials from Costco are not commenting on a report that the Kelowna store will be moving to West Kelowna.

The move has been rumoured for years, with Costco looking to expand onto a bigger site, and not being able to secure one in Kelowna.

One media outlet is reporting the company has bought several properties on Westside Road, near Highway 97, on Westbank First Nation lands, for a new store.

Management from the Kelowna store says they know nothing about that, and media reps from the company are not commenting.

The Westbank First Nation Development and Communications Manager also isn’t commenting on the report.

If the store did move to West Kelowna, it would be a much longer drive for the North Okanagan residents who currently shop at the Kelowna warehouse.
