Rumor Confirmed?

By: Mr. T on October 31, 2009
In Omaha earlier today I stopped by the Costco on 120th and Dodge near Millard to stock up on a 6-months supply of shampoo and toilet paper. As Mr. Wilson noted a few weeks ago, it does seem as if Costco will be coming to the LNK. A staff member told me that they have indeed purchased the land here in town. But that doesn't mean we will be swimming in tanker-sized tubs of salsa soon. The staff member also told me that it took them quite a while to get the Millard store built and running, and it might be the same case with the one here. But I would think if they purchased the land they would start building soon. Putting a Costco in town seems to be a great idea because given their reputation, it will definitely draw folks from GI, York, and other communities around and west of Lincoln. I have never been in a Sam's before, but from people I know who have been in both, the majority say Costco is superior. This is good news.

I heard the same thing last year from a manager at the store, but the economy tanked shortly after that. Glad to hear they’re back to scouting out the Lincoln market. It would be great to finally have one in Lincoln.  Let’s hope they get it going sooner rather than later.

Once they started building, Costco was up and running in no time…Then again it shouldn’t take too long putting up four walls and a roof.
