The wait is over: Costco announces opening date for Stark County store
JACKSON TWP. − The new Costco Wholesale store will open at 8 a.m. Aug. 17.
The 160,000-square-foot warehouse at 4953 Huckleberry St. NW is the first Costco to be built in Stark County. The members-only retailer is the anchor tenant of the Creekside Crossing shopping plaza.
The $28.5 million development includes a tire service center and gas station.
The nearest Costco for Stark residents is in Boston Heights in Summit County. There are four around Columbus.
The Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce will hold a ribbon cutting at 7:30 a.m. just before the Costco Wholesale store opens to the public.
The addition of Costco is a positive indicator of retail growth in the Jackson-Belden Village area, chamber President and CEO Dennis Saunier told the Canton Repository last month.
"With Costco joining the ranks of other exceptional warehouse club businesses ... our community stands to benefit greatly," Saunier said at the time. "Costco's presence will expand our local workforce and bolster our retail tax base."
