Costco in NZ: Opening date revealed (New Zealand Herald)

After Covid-related delays, Costco fans in New Zealand finally have a date to go shopping.

"We have also been working closely with the council and Government officials in the lead-up to opening day." The store was due to open in August but was delayed because of Covid restrictions and build issues because of bad weather. Davenport said 40 per cent of people following the page have never set foot in a Costco store and joined the page for information on how it works. Patrick Noone from Costco said the business had already employed hundreds of people in setting up the Auckland store. Costco superfan Jen Davenport said the fan page she helped set up has had the date published for a couple of weeks and has started a countdown. Davenport was so sure of the opening date she planned to be on-site first thing to see the doors open. "The last date we were given was October 1st and we started a countdown but we were told [by Costco] to take that down," Davenport said. The opening date was published on the company website and had also been leaked on a Costco NZ fan page. "The date is also on their official website." Management for Australia and New Zealand Costco still couldn't confirm the date but said it was 'imminent' and they were working with local authorities on a traffic management plan. But despite no official word from store management the date of September 28th is all but confirmed. Kiwi members of the US-based retail giant Costco will finally be able to walk through the doors of the big-box retailer on Wednesday, September 28.
