Costco opens new business centre in East Gwillimbury, Ont.

Costco Wholesale opened its 10th Canadian Business Centre in East Gwillimbury, Ont., on Dec. 6 

The 137,000-sq.-ft. facility is a conversion of the original Costco location in Newmarket, which recently moved to a larger property at 107 Harry Walker Parkway S. 

The new Business Centre has created 240 local jobs and marks the fifth location of its kind in Ontario. 

The East Gwillimbury location offers more than 3,000 items, targeted at restaurants, grocery and offices. The location also has a gas station, a large cooler and a designated indoor loading area. The Business Centre has a fleet of 8 trucks and offers next-day delivery inside of its designated delivery zone. 

“We are thrilled to open our doors and offer this new service, which will better respond to the needs of local business owners,” said Marc-André Bally, senior vice president Western Canada and Business Centres. “The Costco Business Centre concept is already a resounding success in other parts of the country, and we look forward to offering the same benefits to businesses in East Gwillimbury and surrounding areas, which we also hope will bring many new consumers to discover the benefits of a Costco membership”.
