It repurposes or removes the eye sore of a half used shopping center and replaces it with a Destination Retailer. I can tell you this location being 161k sq feet (On the top end in sizes for a Costco and 20% bigger than Mobile's at around 145k sgt feet) shows the demand they will see for this location. Think about it 500k metro area add in another 300k metro area from Ft. Walton Beach and add in half of Baldwin County at around 120k. Not withstanding all of Alabama to the north stretching to I-65. So this one location will have a pull over of 1 million people. It is a shock they haven't come sooner but I assume they wanted to see how BJ's will do. In the end I predict this location to be one of the Companies most profitable. As for Baldwin County I would even say people in Daphne would shop here over Mobile because of no- tax on food and medical. This is the perfect location for this store.

Traffic is Traffic... Not much can be done about it. It’s good to see this area rebuilt instead of clearing and building somewhere else.

It is in a good location. Good fit. Any high-volume store between Molino and 9 Mile is a good call. My guess is that the paper mill will close in future, so some good industry needs to be added in the Hwy 29N area to absorb the job loss. Need to start planning and find space for industry instead of so many new housing developments or this area will be blighted. You can't count on the Mill to be there much longer without upgrades and improvements. At least this should not be as political as OLF-8 and no one can be accused of wrong doings.

If you ever get used to shopping there you will not want to be without one. Can’t get it here fast enough for us. Got used to shopping at Costco while living in Tennessee. Moved back here and now have to go all the way to Mobile, Ala. to shop at the one there. Please get one here as fast as you can! We love Costco.

That parking lot is a ghetto, so I'm all for it being updated and useful. Besides, a bulk store that I don't have to drive to Davis for? I'm all in!

Traffic on Nine Mile and Chemstrand will increase, but many of those people will no longer be going to Sam's Club or BJ's, so it could actually decrease on Airport and Davis. I'll certainly shop there, because I live in Atmore and I try not to go south of Nine Mile if possible. I agree with James.
