Costco in the Cape????

Many of our members have been asking for a Costco to be built in Cape Coral for years. 

  • Is it coming?

  • Where will it Go?

  • In the Northern Cape Coral?

Thanks to an April 1, 2024 story in the Naples Daily News we may have that answer and it appears to be a “YES”.

“Absolutely,” Lee County Economic Development Director John Talmage told the Naples Daily News “In the Know” columnist Phil Fernandez. 

Where could the Costco location go?

"In northern Cape Coral." According to Talmage.   

Right now, the closest Costco is the congested Cypress Lake and US 41 location in Ft. Myers.  Costco is reportedly building a new location in Northport in 2024/2025. 

Fernandez reports that while the details and timeline are hard to come by, and Costco, per policy, hasn't revealed anything, the target is near the Del Prado Boulevard and Pine Island Road intersection.  According to Talmage, the membership store has honed in on a site.

When asked when the new Costco could come together and the permitting process start, Talmadge reportedly said, “It’s probably pretty imminent”.

As soon as we find out any more information, you can expect it in a bulletin to NWNA members as we know how important this issue is for many of you.

Stay tuned for more! John
