The new Costco warehouse in east Windsor will open its doors to the public at 7 a.m. on Nov. 20. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for 30 minutes prior, at 6:30 a.m.
The facility is positioned at 6670 Catherine Street and will provide more than 200 jobs for the region. The store includes an on-site pharmacy, a hearing aid centre, and an optical centre. It also features a five-bay tire centre, a 24-pump gas station, and parking space for more than 900 vehicles.
Outgoing Mayor Drew Dilkens toured the facility recently. He stated that shoppers will notice a difference in the store's layout compared to previous locations. Dilkens noted the aisles are wider and the space is more modern.
Dilkens pointed to pre-scan aisles as a key design element. He explained that these lanes allow shoppers to pass through quickly after scanning. He said the overall traffic flow has been improved to correct flaws found in existing stores.
Dilkens believes the infrastructure supporting the warehouse will attract other businesses. He said the road and sewer improvements, combined with high traffic volume, make the area attractive for co-located retailers.
Company officials, Windsor-Tecumseh MPP Andrew Dowie, and warehouse manager Daniel Gomes are expected to attend the grand opening ceremony.
