Warehouse has how many stores in N.Z. ? Two hundred and something if my memory serves me correctly. Answer is sure to be in here somewhere http://nzx-prod-s7fsd7f98s.s3-websit...579/345273.pdf
Say Costco does open one store in Westgate, so what ? I live in one of the best suburbs in West Auckland but its still an annoying 30 minute drive each way (outside of peak hour traffic, much more during peak hour) to see one of my best mates in Westgate. My point is, travelling within Auckland is now a nightmare no matter what time of the day. Took me 15 minutes each way to drop off my granddaughter to the next suburb from where we live last evening...(thanks for the hospital pass Mrs B). The traffic and cost of commuting in Auckland is diabolical.
Sure Costco will have some pull in Westgate and immediate suburbs surrounding but there must be dozens of Warehouse suburban stores in Auckland and my closest is about 7 minutes drive away. Time and commuting cost is also money.
