DAYTONA BEACH – Fans of big box retail stores rejoice: representatives from OneDaytona have confirmed a Costco will be popping up in Daytona Beach. It will become one of the centerpieces of a retail center that’s already loaded with big-name shopping.
The News-Journal reported that the news had come from OneDaytona’s president, without official corroboration from Costco. As of now, the closest Costco locations for the Volusia/Flagler County area are in Jacksonville and the Orlando area. Two locations are slated to pop up in the area between the two municipalities: the new one in Daytona and another upcoming location in St. Augustine.
As of now, the Daytona store’s opening is estimated for 2024, with St. Augustine slated for next month. Where the regional economy is concerned, multiple hundreds of jobs stand to be created with the opening of just one new store.
Costco will likely represent the strongest competition yet for the Sam’s Club located off of LPGA Blvd near Tanger Outlets. Costco’s planned location is a 17-acre lot.

Great news and thanks for posting it on your site Chris. I went to post a correction on another site about this with the comment of the location being wrong and was silenced by not allowing my comment to be posted. The other site was FLaglerl***. The liberal one sided site where if you don’t agree with the liberals you are attacked or silenced with your comment not being posted for all to see.
