New Costco location with sushi department opens in Brantford

A new Costco location opened their doors Friday morning in Brantford, which is hosting the province’s first sushi department.
Found right off Wayne Gretzky Parkway, next to Lynden Park Mall, the business says it has over 800 parking spots, a range of alcoholic beverages for sale, an optical centre, a variety of specialty departments and 24 gas pumps.
A ribbon cutting ceremony was held at 6:30 a.m. with many people waiting in line to shop and celebrate the opening.
MP Larry Brock, MPP Will Bouma, Brantford Mayor Kevin Davis, Chief Sherri-Lyn Hill from Six Nations of the Grand River and chief Sault from the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation were in attendance for the ribbon cutting ceremony.
The Brantford wholesale location joins the other four local Costco stores in Burlington, Ancaster, Stoney Creek and Niagara Falls with an additional business center in St. Catharines.
The new warehouse is also the 41st location to open in Ontario.
A media release provided by Costco reads the location has created over 180 permanent jobs and 80 seasonal jobs.

Can’t wait for Costco to open grocery only stores next to or near Loblaws, Metro, Sobeys etc.

I just got clean bill of health. City housing demanded I remove speaker cloth from grille. After 5th or 6th inspection this year. It is held up with magnets. To deaden sound of daily fire alarms. Which has been in place for 3 years. Not one person has mentioned it being a problem. Apparently it is endangering everyone's life in the building. They never said anything, ever. Because city housing & council never audit themselves or have external oversight mechanism in Drug Fords Ontario.

Who in their right mind. Has been waiting for a Costco to come to town. Ever. Dreaming of day their life becomes complete. Buying meth making supplies in bulk. May be Drug Ford's master plan.
