The location of a second Costco store in the Auckland region has been revealed.
Property developer Kiwi Property said today it had agreed to sell a 6.4-hectare plot of land to the US-based mega store chain at its new development in Drury, south of Auckland.
“We are very excited to be entering into this agreement with Kiwi Property in a location as great as Drury,” Chris Tingman, Costco country manager, said.
“Whilst still subject to planning and corporate approvals, our aim is to introduce our unique high-quality, low-cost merchandise to Drury, serving our significant membership base in the south of Auckland, as well as Hamilton and the Waikato region.”
The new store will be the city’s second, with the Costco at the Westgate shopping centre proving hugely popular.
“Costco has been a hit with Kiwi consumers since it opened its first store in Auckland and we’re pleased to be working with them on this exciting opportunity to bring Costco further south,” Kiwi Property chief executive officer Clive Mackenzie said.
