The City of Camarillo announced the other day that Costco has submitted an application to develop a 160,000 square foot location with a freestanding gas station situated on a vacant lot at the west end of the Camarillo Town Center, south side of Highway 101 and west of Home Depot near Springville Drive.

The city indicated it is an ideal location for Camarillo residents. Over the last 12 months, an estimated nearly 37,000 Camarillo residents visited the Oxnard store nearly 388,000 visits, nearly 13,000 visited the Westlake Village store for nearly 90,000 visits, and over 6,000 visited the Simi Valley store for nearly 33,000 visits. A local Camarillo store would recapture quite a bit of this business.

Costco and the owner of the vacant lot are currently in the process of negotiations, so at this point while the development is not guaranteed, if all goes as anticipated, the store could open by mid to late 2024.
