Earlier this week we published news about the relocation of the newest Costco warehouse club in Anjou. We received an overwhelming amount of feedback and several questions about the post so we decided to follow up with an article listing all the important details.

ANJOU, QC – Costco Wholesale opened a new warehouse club today in Anjou – located at 9401 Boulevard des Sciences. The new and improved warehouse has created 60 additional jobs and an opportunity for local residents to benefit from even more conveniences and savings than what was provided by the previous Costco warehouse at 7373 rue Bombardier in Anjou, which will be converted to a Costco Business Centre.
“With the opening of this new warehouse, we can serve all of our members in the Anjou and surrounding area and can bring new consumers and businesses to uncover the benefits of a Costco membership,” said Pierre Riel, Senior Vice-President and Country Manager, Costco Wholesale Canada. “We are very proud to share this new location with our valued members and member businesses in the local community and throughout the area.”
The new 155,733 square-foot location features wider aisles and a larger selection of food offerings than in the past. It also includes a larger variety of specialty departments, such as an on-site bakery, fresh meat, expanded produce area, rotisserie chicken section, optical centre – including an on-site independent optometrist – a newly-introduced hearing aid centre, five tire centre bays, large food court, gas station with 18 pumps, propane station and an expanded pharmacy. With 13 checkout registers, a new self-checkout section with six stations and 1,000 shopping carts, the warehouse features 900 parking spots – 125 spots more than the former Anjou location.
The new Anjou warehouse is 20 per cent larger than the previous location. Like all other Costco Wholesale warehouses, the new Anjou location offers more than 3,800 high-quality items at unbeatable value. The company provides a wide range of products and services for members’ personal use and helps small to medium-size businesses save money on both supplies and items for resale.
Costco Wholesale is open to members only. The annual fee is $60 for a Business Membership or $60 for a Gold Star Membership. All Costco Wholesale memberships include a FREE household card, and are valid at Costco locations around the world.
Executive Membership
At an annual fee of $120 per year, Costco also offers an enhanced Executive Membership that includes a 2% reward (up to $1,000 annually) on all qualifying Costco purchases and a FREE household card. Those who choose the Executive Membership option receive exclusive merchandise offers, as well as special incentives on Travel Insurance, Payment Processing, Portable and Self-storage, and more.
Costco members can also make purchases at Costco.ca, where they will find thousands of additional items that are available online only.
