Costco breaks ground on new West St. Paul store
Construction has begun on the American retailer's newest Manitoba store which developers expect will open in August 2027.
Construction has commenced on Costco's newest Manitoba store in West St. Paul, according to bulldozers and a crane marking the beginning of the American retail corporation's presence in the area. The 162,000-square-foot facility is expected to open in August 2027. Mayor Peter Truijen of West St. Paul attended a groundbreaking ceremony on Friday, expressing excitement about the new hub with other Costco Wholesale members.
The store will feature a retail operation, garden centre, eatery, auto service station, and over 1,000 parking stalls spread across 21 acres. United Equities Group, the seller of commercial lots, is preparing the site for the megastore, with 30 acres of commercial development remaining. Jagjit Gill, who plans to build a 30,000-square-foot strip mall across from the new Costco, expects construction to commence in November, with leasing to follow in 2027.
The retail center could open by the end of 2027 or early 2028. Truijen noted that the RM has seen an annual increase of 300 new home builds over the past three to four years, and the steady growth continues with other developments in the area.
