Costco<\/a> will officially be coming to Route 17 South in Paramus, the town\u2019s mayor confirmed on Friday. <\/p>\n

The Paramus Planning Board approved a bid on Thursday evening for Costco to build a 184,000-square-foot location at the shuttered Kmart and Stop & Shop locations at 859 Route 17 South, NorthJersey.com reported<\/a>. Paramus Mayor Chris DiPiazza welcomed the news in a statement shared on social media on Friday. <\/p>\n

\u201cCostco is a premier retailer in the United States, and they are choosing to call Paramus home,\u201d he said in a Facebook post.<\/a> <\/p>\n

\u201cThey are filling an abandoned property – a vacant lot – and putting in a need. We can\u2019t ask for much more than that. They\u2019re keeping our commercial corridor vibrant, which helps the taxpayers, and they\u2019re doing so with a plan to protect residents that are their neighbors as well,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

The Costco was approved with unanimous consent during the Oct. 2 meeting after some local residents voiced concerns about added traffic, according to NorthJersey.com. No time frame was discussed for the construction of the new Costco.<\/p>\n

The approval comes more than a year after DiPiazza announced Costco\u2019s plans to bid on the vacant lots<\/a> that once held a Kmart and Stop & Shop. The Kmart <\/a>location in Paramus has been closed since 2014 while the Stop & Shop <\/a>closed in January 2022. <\/p>\n

The new Costco will be the store\u2019s 21st location<\/a> in New Jersey and will join other North Jersey locations including Teterboro, Clifton and Wayne. <\/p>\n

Costco is a membership warehouse club<\/a> known for its wide selection of products often sold in bulk at low prices. It is a leader in consumer satisfaction, with a score of 82 on the American Customer Satisfaction Index.<\/a><\/p>\n
