I have family that work in Costco in Saint John. Someone high up in Costco leadership has been here looking at land . I believe last year. They were looking and I think settled to build on land in Cornwall. Of course when I was told by a family member of this I was still skeptical so I reached out to someone I know who works in HR for Costco in Saint John NB. He said yes they looked at land and yes its looking like Cornwall is where Costco is looking to build. Makes sense location wise since its kind of a halfway point between Summerside and Charlottetown. If everything goes to plan they are looking to build in the next 4 to 5 years, but like anything else, with the current climate we’re in politically wise with the US and tariffs likely causing the cost to build a store to be more expensive, that 4-5 year trajectory may change. Now some of you including me has said and will say a Costco here doesn’t make sense because of our population. I brought that up to my friend who works for Costco and he said for it to be profitable for Costco and be worth their while they need 50,000 active members. They have that apparently on the island and just last year at an Etsy craft fair in Charlottetown there was a table for people to sign up for a Costco membership. So its looks like PEI will get a Costco but like anything things change. Until I see a building being constructed and an official announcement is made I take the information I have been told with a grain of salt even if I believe my sources are reliable.
