EL DORADO HILLS, Calif. — Have heard that there could be a new Costco coming to town in El Dorado Hills? That is partially correct, but nothing is set in stone as of now. Here's what you need to know.
- The decision to bring the Costco to El Dorado Hills is not final at this time. The company president will be doing an on-site visit in the near future. They are hoping to have a final decision by April.
- If the decision is approved, the opening is expected to be in 2022. Costco is anticipating about three years for the building process to conclude.
- There's been a lot of questions why they would be building a new Costco just three miles away from the Folsom location. The reason for this is because the Folsom location is currently operating over ideal capacity. Building a new location will take some of the pressure off of Folsom.
- JOBS! The new warehouse would employ anywhere between 200-250 people. And the good news is that Costco hires predominantly local residents.
- The new location will be located off Silva Valley Parkway near Highway 50.
Also of note, if the warehouse is built, research will be conducted to determine the required traffic parameters.
