Costco to Bring Second Store to Louisville

The members-only wholesaler Costco will be adding a second Louisville location, according to plans submitted to the Metro Government.  The 153,000 square foot members-only retail warehouse will be built on the 17 ¾ acre lot at 3408 Bardstown Road – the vacant site of the former Showcase Cinemas.

The project, which will supplement their existing location at 5020 Norton Healthcare Blvd will also will include a tire center and a freestanding gas station.

The expansion provides additional competition for Walmart sister company Sam’s Club, which currently operates two members-only warehouse shopping centers in Louisville, another in Clarksville, Indiana, and a fourth in Elizabethtown.
