![]() It is easier for me to get to from my Southern Maine home. One, you can go to the Costco in Danvers, Massachusetts, like I do. Until the Scarborough location opens, you’ve got two options for shopping at Costco near Maine. Now, I cannot confirm about the pharmacy or optician until Costco releases more details about this new store location. Anyone can walk in and visit the pharmacy. In fact, in every Costco location I’ve ever visited there has been a pharmacy and an optician for glasses.įun fact: you don’t have to be a Costco member to get your prescription filled. Will there be a pharmacy at the Costco in Maine?įrom what I can tell, the Costco in Maine will have a pharmacy. Those hours are identical, aren’t they? So unless something strange happens, my guess is those will be the hours for the Scarborough Costco, once it opens. That latter Costco is currently the closest Costco to me in Maine. ![]() However, here are the hours at the Costco in Cranberry, Pennsylvania, that we used to visit.Īnd also the hours at the Costco in Danvers, Massachusetts. What will the hours be at the Costco in Scarborough, Maine? In fact, I’ve reached out to the Costco media relations folks to see if I can attend any media previews they might have before the official opening. I’m sure that as that date gets nearer, I’ll have a better sense of an exact date. When is Costco opening in Scarborough, Maine?Īs of right now, all I can tell you is that November 2023 is the target date for the Costco to open in Scarborough, Maine. But that’s all going to change very soon. Is there a Costco in MaineĪs of this writing, there is not a Costco open in Maine. Now, let me answer all of your questions about the new Costco opening in Maine. The last time I drove by the Payne Road location in Scarborough, the gas station was framed out, the concrete for parking areas had been poured and there was one wall up inside the frame of the warehouse. So, I’m guessing the Scarborough warehouse will be impressive to visit, once it opens. The Costco corporate website says that Costco stores range in size from 80,000 to 230,000 square feet, with the average being 146,000 square feet. The warehouse itself will be about 160,000 square feet. So expect to see long lines at the Costco gas station once it is open. Usually, wholesale club members can get gas onsite for cheaper than regular retail gas stations. What can I expect at this new CostcoĪccording to this article in the Portland Press Herald, the Costco Wholesale Club store will not only be for shopping but also for getting gas. So, if you wanted to know if there was a Costco in Portland, Maine, well, Scarborough is the closest you’re going to get.īefore this, if Mainers wanted to shop at Costco, they had to drive to Nashua, New Hampshire, or Danvers, Massachusetts. In case you didn’t know, Scarborough is the next town south from Portland–well, South Portland. So I’ve updated this article to answer all of those questions as best I can. Since I first wrote this article, I’ve gotten lots of questions about the Costco in Scarborough, Maine - including about the opening date. Then I checked the Costco website again in late August and guess what? Finally, I can give you the tentative opening day. The gas station was framed out and so is the store itself. However, I drove by the Scarborough location recently. In August 2023 I reached out again and was still getting that party line. I discovered that Costco’s official party line is never to comment on a store’s opening until about three months before it actually does open. That is, in 2022, the Scarborough Planning Board finally approved a proposal to build Maine’s first Costco location in Scarborough Downs. I’m even more excited than when I learned there will finally be a Costco in Maine. I finally have an opening date for the new Costco in Maine.
