SLO Costco Opens next week

Friday, September 09, 2005

After months of construction and planning, Costco is set to open September 17 in San Luis Obispo. The new 140-thousand-square-foot store – 10-thousand-square-feet larger than the Santa Maria location - is packed with merchandise and design features.

Located off Los Osos Valley Road just across from Home Depot, the new store is highlighted by an on-the-floor pharmacy allowing customers easy and direct access to pharmacists. The wine selection is local – nearly 80-percent is from local wineries.

The new store also has a 90-thousand gallon gas station, and Costco is promising to match the lowest fuel price within a five-mile radius.

Costco is hoping to hire nearly 300 employees. And with flexible hours, starting pay of $10 per hour and benefits for all, new workers are excited about the opportunities.

An open house event is set for September 16 from 6 PM to 8 PM.
