It was recently announced that the old Washington Mall will be demolished to make way for new development and the anchor store will be Costco.
Washington County’s Commissioners made the announcement during a real estate expo at Washington & Jefferson College Wednesday.
There is no projected opening date for the wholesale retailer yet, with crews still deconstructing the former mall that had been abandoned for over a decade.
Before the official announcement the commissioners called Costco is “an award-winning and respected nationwide brand” and help bring in new tax revenue to the township and local school district, Trinity Area.
Costco is a membership-based warehouse wholesaler that sells products in bulk at discounted prices.
The Washington County location will be Costco’s fourth in Southwestern PA.
The current other locations are in Homestead, Cranberry Township and Robinson Township.
