One of the world’s largest retailers has announced an official day it will open for business in Wasaga Beach. Wholesale retailer Costco began construction on a warehouse in Wasaga Beach earlier this year. The project is valued at an estimated $50 million and the company claims it will bring 154 permanent and approximately more than 300 total jobs to the area. The warehouse, located at 345 Lyons Court, will also feature an 18 pump gas station, a fleet of 800 shopping carts, 800 parking spaces and a tire centre with five bays. The company says doors will open to the public at 7 a.m. on November 21. Earlier this year, Wasaga Beach told CTV News the Costco will span 162,000 square feet. Once built, town officials said it will become one of the largest commercial developments along the Highway 26 corridor. With files from CTV’s Julianna Balsamo.
