KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Lawrence, Kansas will officially be getting a new Costco Wholesale store, that’s expected to open later this year.
This comes after the company submitted a site plan to the city of Lawrence in October.

The new store will be 166,000 square feet, located on 22.6 acres within the Mercato development, at the northeast corner of 6th Street and Highway 10, just south of Rock Chalk Park.
“We’re thrilled to help bring Costo to Lawrence and see this as a major destination anchor that draws shoppers from across Douglas County and Lawrence’s surrounding communities,” said Becca Koester, representative of the ownership group, K-10/40 Development, L.C. “The Lawrence store will be Costco’s most western store in Kansas along the I-70 corridor.”
This location will include Costco’s typical membership-based warehouse model along with an on-site gas station with 24 pumps, tire center, bakery and more.
This is will be the fifth Costco’s location within an hour of the Kansas City metro. Construction has started on the project.
