Costco to Open Store in Ogori
American membership-only retail giant Costco plans to open a store in Ogori City, its third in Fukuoka Prefecture. The Ogori store, which is scheduled to be built on the western side of the Chikugo-Ogori Interchange on the Oita Expressway, will feature nearly 10,000 m2 of floor space, and it is slated to open sometime between 2024 and 2026. On Mar. 17, Costco concluded an agreement with Ogori City in which the company promises to preferentially hire 400 local employees, sell locally produced goods and cooperate with relief efforts in the event of a disaster.
