CVG Instagram follower Lucas C let us know today that Petco Westlake Village is closing. A store representative indicated that December 24 will be their final day. Petco is, soon to be was, located next to Trader Joe's at 3835 E Thousand Oaks Boulevard in the North Ranch Shopping Center.

There was some discussion via Instagram and Facebook as to what is coming next to this spot. Could Trader Joe’s be expanding? Well, according to a current North Ranch Shopping Center site leasing brochure, what looks to be happening is that the Trek Bike Shop will be moving from its existing spot to the larger Petco spot, freeing up its current space for Daiso Japan. Daiso is a Japanese variety and value store offering a wide range of household items. There are Daiso stores in West Hills and Northridge.  Learn more at daisojapan.com.

We have not independently confirmed these future plans, so stay tuned for updates.

City of Camarillo Announces Costco Seeks to Develop New Location in Town by Mid to Late 2024

/

Aerial Site Plan

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.

always a Costco favorite!
