Sushi lovers in Brantford, Ontario. We are going to have a great time at the end of the week.

Costco Wholesale is set to debut in Brantford with a new warehouse that brings a unique twist to its popular offerings.

Scheduled to open Friday, this location will be the first Costco in Ontario to offer an in-store sushi department.

The building, located on Roy Boulevard near the Lynden Park shopping center, has been under construction for months. The warehouse will offer Costco’s familiar bulk items and favorites as well as 24 gas pumps, 813 parking spaces and a range of beer, wine, champagne and ready-to-drink alcoholic beverages.

The opening has been a long time coming for many residents, as the idea of ​​bringing the big box store to Brantford has been around in one form or another for more than two decades.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held Friday at 6:30 a.m. to mark the opening. The warehouse will be open to the public at 7 a.m.

The Brantford warehouse is expected to create 180 permanent jobs and 80 seasonal jobs, according to Costco Wholesale.
