These 2 markets got their first Costcos in 23. Here’s how it went

But so far – besides the project that includes Costco Wholesale Corp. (NYSE: COST) which received site plan approval from the Amherst Planning Board on August 17, 2023 – there has been little notable progress on the site, the former Tony Roma’s restaurant on Ridge Lea Road in Amherst , across from Carrabba’s Italian Grill on the Boulevard shopping plaza.

A Costco representative told Business First that the company’s policy is not to comment on a future location until it is ready to share details, typically two to three months in advance.

To get an idea of ​​what’s to come, Business First looked to other markets outside of New York State, which recently opened their first Costco locations, to get an idea of ​​what Buffalo can expect as the retailer gets closer to opening here.
