INTERNATIONAL wholesaling colossus Costco will next month in Melbourne open its tenth warehouse in Australia, its fourth in Victoria, its 745th worldwide.

Costco, with a revenue last year of $US129 billion, says it is a membership warehouse club, dedicated to bringing its members the best possible prices on quality brand-name merchandise.

The company says it provides a wide selection of merchandise, plus the convenience of specialty departments and exclusive member services, all designed to make your shopping experience a pleasurable one.

The grand opening of the Epping warehouse will be on Wednesday, August 29.

The warehouse will feature Victoria’s second Costco Fuel station. Members need a Costco card to shop and to purchase fuel at the self-serve stations.

An Annual Costco membership will cost $55 for businesses and $60 for individuals.

The company plans to next open new warehouses in Ipswich (Qld) and Perth.
