Costco moving to Leckie Road

[Cannery215]

Looks like the City of Kelowna would rather have a new Costco than support housing affordability. Application for a new Costco right next to Superstore will require 16.8 acres of medium and high density multi-family land.

So much for Castanets story that it was ‘officially’ going to the Westside.

No gas station :(

No gas station :(

Yes there is, look at the bottom left side of the plan:

Gas Bar Site - 79 stalls - 2.06 acres.

Easier to visualize with google maps: Gas Bar hopefully will be across Baron Road from Marshalls and Dollarama.

^^^ time will tell if there gas station becomes one of the busiest in Kelowna.

Depends on how many members buy gas there

Q. Can anyone buy fuel at a Costco Gas station?
a. The gas station is open to Costco members only, with one exception: Costco Cash Card holders do not need to be members.

When I first saw this thread the one directly below it was "About bloody time"...pretty appropriate is you ask me.

The only downside will be increased traffic in an already congested area. I like the access from Leckie (x2) and Baron (x1). I LOVE that they're putting the gas bar across Durnin, keeping it separated.

Unless they do something with traffic flow..its going to be crazy at Baron and Dilworth for sure....and Baron and Leckie.

Im also suprised that they are putting a lot more warehouse box style business next to residential condos

it will be a traffic gong show,the real question is, what will go into the old costo location when they move out

[the truth]

will this be the start of better gas prices after costco gas bar opens

Apparently the CoK planners enjoy crazy, throw in a few aggressive drivers equals total mayhem.

I said a couple months ago that it was going in that empty lot near Baron and Leckie and most of you told me i was wrong.
