(Central News Agency reporter Lin Qiaolian, Kaohsiung, 12th) American-style warehouse club Taiwan Costco announced on Facebook today that its Kaohsiung store, which has been operating for nearly 30 years, will relocate from Zhonghua 5th Road to a new address on Zhike Road in Qianzhen District on July 3. The company stated that this will be the largest Costco store in Taiwan and will be located in the front row of the sea view.
Taiwan Costco announced on its official Facebook fan page today that the original Kaohsiung store location will operate until 6:00 PM on July 2, and will officially begin operations at the new address on July 3. The new store address is No. 35, Zhike Road, Qianzhen District, Kaohsiung City. The new location is not only in the front row of the sea view but also has the largest number of car and motorcycle parking spaces in Taiwan.
The news of the Kaohsiung Costco store's relocation was not a secret locally, but the official confirmation still sparked heated discussions online. Many netizens are concerned about traffic flow, with one asking, "How will the traffic flow be? Because it passes through the light rail area which is prone to congestion." Many are worried that traffic jams at the new location will be even worse.
According to information released by the company, the new Kaohsiung store will become the largest Costco in Taiwan. In addition to more spacious shopping areas, it will feature more comfortable shopping routes and the largest number of car and motorcycle parking spaces in Taiwan, aiming to alleviate congestion during holiday crowds. Because the new location is near the harbor, the company has highlighted the "sea-view front row" as a selling point, sparking discussion.
After the news was revealed, many netizens expressed anticipation, saying things like, "Finally, no more waiting in line for half an hour in the parking lot" and "With more space, shopping should be much more comfortable." Some joked, "Buying beef rolls while watching the sea." However, some people also raised questions, worrying that the new location is farther from the city center and whether the surrounding roads can handle the large volume of traffic, especially whether traffic jams will reappear on holidays.
The Kaohsiung Costco store on Zhonghua 5th Road is Taiwan Costco's first store, which opened grandly in 1997 and gradually changed Taiwanese people's consumption habits. With the relocation, the company stated that it looks forward to serving members with a better shopping environment and hopes to create more memories with the public at the new store.
