For years, South Jordan residents and city officials have been petitioning for a COSTCO store in South Jordan.
There is even a Facebook page (created in October of 2010) for gathering interest in the project. By the end of that month they already had 1000 followers! They also posted that, "today we heard a little rumor of not "if" but "when"..." Three years later there is still no COSTCO, but the Facebook page has gathered over 1900 followers. There was also a petition started which has accumulated over 200 signatures.
Recently, the newly elected Mayor of South Jordan promised on his website: "I will close the deal with COSTCO and give them just enough incentive to finally open in South Jordan."
Then this news was posted on the Facebook page on November 22nd: "BIG NEWS! It's really going to happen! I just got off the phone with the developer Paul Stringham and COSTCO is set to start building on 104th and Bangerter Highway April 1st and open July or Aug 2014!! Press release will be next week."
However, that week has come and gone with no press release. COSTCO's website still indicates 11100 S. Auto Mall Drive in Sandy as the closest location to South Jordan. Others on the Facebook page caution, "Don't get too excited just yet. This COSTCO location has been approved several times and COSTCO wont pull the trigger because it will effect the Sandy location."
*Update* Finally! Driving by Bangerter and 104th South you can see this sign:"COSTCO coming fall 2014"!
