Costco has no plans for Delta Township location

DELTA TWP. – Costco has no immediate plans to open a location in Delta Township.

Township officials initially reached out to Costco in April after receiving a lot of requests from residents to bring the members-only wholesale giant to the area, but they received no indication that Costco was interested, said Supervisor Ken Fletcher.

“They aren’t actively looking to go anywhere here or in the region,” Fletcher said.

Township officials had been contacting Costco through email but haven’t received any responses since May.

Though there are no imminent plans, Costco cannot comment on future locations either, said D. Ted Harris of its corporate communications office.

Delta Township has available land on Saginaw Highway in The Marketplace at Delta Township development, Fletcher had said previously, which would could accommodate a large retailer.

“We’re obviously interested in having them there,” he said. “A whole lot of people thought it would be great and I think the region would benefit from it. We certainly hope to have them there one day.”

Costco is based in Seattle and has 13 Michigan locations. The nearest Costco stores are in Brighton and Grand Rapids.

There are no other openings in Michigan listed under Costco’s “New Locations” tab on its website.
