Business Center Format Conversion

COSTCO WHOLESALE CORP /NEW · 2026-07-24 · Importance 34 · Surprise 42 · In source text

Costco is seeking approval to convert its midtown Kansas City warehouse into a Business Center serving local businesses and resellers. The proposed conversion is expected to begin in fall and reopen in spring 2027, while remaining accessible to all Costco members. The format would add outdoor storage for 25 trucks but remove services including the pharmacy and food court, creating a materially different customer and service mix.
