Costco Replaces Vallejo Store With Larger Warehouse

Costco closed its 37-year-old, 125,000-square-foot Vallejo, California, warehouse on Nov. 6 and opened a larger, 152,000-square-foot replacement about three minutes away the same day. The replacement is easier to reach and has 30 gas pumps, compared with 16 at the former store. Its opening drew long lines and strong community interest. The move is a relocation rather than a retreat, as Costco is expanding its warehouse network and plans further openings, including additional relocations.
