Costco Opens First Store in Napa, California

Napa is eagerly anticipating the grand opening of its first Costco on October 18, 2023, located at 280 Riversound Way, as part of a large redevelopment project. The store, which is designed to reflect its Wine Country setting, features a substantial wine selection and will include various amenities like a gas station and electric vehicle charging station. Shoppers have begun camping outside the store, with some, like Andy Thong, waiting over a week to secure exclusive whiskey offerings expected to be available at competitive prices. City officials project that the new Costco will become the largest source of sales tax revenue for Napa, bolstering local services and infrastructure. The store will operate daily with designated hours for both the warehouse and gas station. This opening is part of Costco's broader expansion, with several new stores launching across the U.S. and internationally this fall.
