A spokesperson for the company confirmed the opening date and details about the new location at 205 E. Ken Pratt Blvd. on Wednesday. The 152,000-square-foot warehouse will have 220 employees and roughly 4,000 different products.
“We are thrilled to be bringing Costco’s low warehouse prices to the residents of Longmont,” Warehouse Manager Jeff Scheidemantle said in a release. “They have been asking us to open here for a long time, and we already have made an impact on the local job market. We look forward to contributing to the community in many ways.”
