A new Costco Wholesale store – the largest of three area locations – has opened in Stoney Creek.
There were some shoppers lined up early Thursday morning to check out the new store, which is located at 1330 South Service Rd at Winona Road astride the Queen Elizabeth Way.
"With the opening of this new warehouse, we are closer to and can better serve our members who, in the past, needed to travel to our locations in Ancaster, Burlington and even as far as St. Catharines," said Pierre Riel, senior vice-president and general manager for Costco Wholesale Eastern Canada, in a press release.
