Costco Excitement builds as store to revamp city space
Gloucester Citizen
|May 08, 2025
HERE is huge anticipation to find out when American Wholesale retail giant Costco will build and open its planned new site in Gloucester.
Proposals for a new 13,109sqm store along with an 18 bay petrol station with tyre fitting shop in Barnwood were unanimously approved by city planners in December.
The redevelopment of the former Interbrew site in Eastern Avenue is expected to create up to 250 jobs.
Costco bosses said at the time when the plans were debated by Gloucester City Council that the new store would lead to a significant investment in the city and reuse of a site vacant for seven years.
They told councillors they "own the site and wish to commence the development as soon as possible".
