Perth’s first Costco store opens Thursday 19th of March
The wait is nearly over for Costco fans with the megastore set to open the doors of the first Perth Costco store on Thursday, March 19th. This is on time from the original reports in August 2019 of a March 2020 launch.
But that’s not all that’s in the works for Costco Australia and Costco Perth.
The giant retailer has also confirmed its launch into the online space – providing online shopping and delivery for its members and its members only.
While online shopping will be slightly more expensive than shopping in person at the store, there will be added benefits of exclusive online products only which will be sure to keep Costco shoppers in an online frenzy.
The giant warehouse also includes a fuel station providing flat rate fuel prices, tyre centre, optical centre and hearing aid centre and a food court.
Costco Perth and Coronavirus
Despite a statewide ban on gatherings over 500+ people, Costco is no doubt set to draw an opening day crowd on Thursday into the thousands which could see many eager punters coming in close contact with each other – especially when shopping for toilet paper.
Costco Perth will have toilet paper in abundance
Just like other supermarket chains, Costco will also be putting a limit on toilet paper for its customers limiting 1 pack per customer.
Though that one pack contains 60 rolls – so these will no doubt be in high demand.
