UKIAH, Calif. – Costco will open a membership warehouse in Ukiah on Thursday, July 19, at 8 a.m.

The 141,000-square-foot warehouse is located at 1275 Airport Park Blvd., at the southwest corner of Highway 101 and Talmage Road.

Previously, residents of the area had to drive approximately 61 miles southeast to Santa Rosa or 68 miles southeast to Rohnert Park to shop at Costco.

“We are thrilled to be bringing Costco’s low warehouse prices to the residents of Ukiah,” said Warehouse Manager Michael Wiederholt. “They have been asking us to open here for a long time, and we already have made an impact on the local job market. We look forward to contributing to the community in many ways.”

In the Costco tradition, the Ukiah warehouse will offer quality, brand-name and private-label merchandise at incredible values. Costco helps businesses save money on supplies and on items for resale, and provides a wide range of products and services for personal use as well.
