Spectrum News 1 got a glimpse into the new Guilderland Costco Wholesale store before it opens at 8 a.m. Thursday.<\/p>\n
The Costco is located next to Crossgates Mall on Western Avenue.<\/p>\n
According to the company, 14,000 people have already signed up for memberships. It says that is a record for the Northeast. The company expects 20,000 people to sign up by the end of the week.<\/p>\n
“We’re going to be giving out donations to the food bank, any goods we have,” General Manager Tony Dotson said. We’re going to average about 3,000 pounds a month, which is exciting because we’ve experienced there is a need in the Capital Region. And that’s something we feel we can give back to the community and be a big part of.”<\/p>\n
The project faced years of debate<\/a> but got final approval from a state Appellate Court judge who ruled<\/a> the city planning board took proper dilligence with regards to any possible environmental affects.<\/p>\n The company recently announced there will also be a new Costco in West Seneca.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spectrum News 1 got a glimpse into the new Guilderland Costco Wholesale store before it opens at 8…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":313133,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[206,288,9,11,10,49,51,50,12,380,200],"class_list":["post-313132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-albany-capital-region","tag-business","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-state","tag-new-york-state-headlines","tag-new-york-state-news","tag-news","tag-spectrum-news-staff","tag-vod"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=313132"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313132\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/313133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=313132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=313132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=313132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
