East Gwillimbury Costco Closing as New Newmarket Location Opens
Hey everyone, have you heard the latest about Costco in our area? Big changes are happening! The East Gwillimbury Costco on Yonge Street is set to close later this month for renovations, and it’s going to be transformed into a Costco Business Centre. That means, for a while, shoppers won’t be able to visit the familiar warehouse there because it’s going to be under construction for several months.
But don’t worry, Costco fans—there’s some exciting news to look forward to. A brand-new Costco warehouse is opening in East Newmarket on Harry Walker Parkway South on August 20. Construction on the new location is basically wrapped up, and the gas bar has already opened on August 1. So, just in time for the grand opening, everything is ready for shoppers to check out. Costco even posted about it on social media, and store associates have been confirming the move, so it’s definitely happening.

Residents are already talking about how much more convenient this new location will be. Shayan Milani, a local from Newmarket, mentioned that it’s just down the street from him, so he’s excited to shop there instead of driving to East Gwillimbury. Another resident, Valerie Wilson from Uxbridge, pointed out that the new location is really easy to access from Highway 404 and hopes it will be larger with a wider selection.
Now, the East Gwillimbury store isn’t disappearing entirely—it’s just changing focus. It will become a Costco Business Centre, which is a bit different from the regular warehouses. These centres are designed more for businesses and stock thousands of items you won’t usually find in a standard Costco. But don’t worry, regular members can still shop there. Until now, the closest Business Centre to Newmarket was all the way in Scarborough, so this is a big win for local shoppers.
People are really excited about what this means for their shopping options. Andrada Arnautu from Newmarket is looking forward to grabbing bulk items without the long drive to Scarborough, joking that it’s the perfect place to stock up on things like a year’s supply of ketchup. Lila Abdwa, also from Newmarket, is curious to see the Business Centre in action, since she’s never visited the one in Scarborough.
So, while it might be a little inconvenient to say goodbye to the old East Gwillimbury Costco for now, the new Newmarket location and the upcoming Business Centre promise to bring a lot of new opportunities and convenience for shoppers. Exciting times are ahead for Costco fans in the area!
