Town dignitaries, company officials, and, of course, shoppers, were raring to go this morning as Queen Creek’s first Costco opened its doors.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Queen Creek Mayor Julia Wheatley and Vice Mayor Jeff Brown started off the day at 7:30 a.m., with the store officially open for business at 8 a.m.
"I am thrilled to welcome Costco to Queen Creek! Over the years, this seems to have been the No. 1 request our residents have asked for and now they have it within minutes," Wheatley said after the opening. "Costco provides much needed additional shopping and services, provides great jobs, and is a tremendous addition to our economic vitality of Queen Creek!"
