Capital Region Gets First Costco | Albany News

Costco just dropped its first-ever warehouse in the Capital Region, and folks showed up before dawn to be among the first inside — with one shopper rolling up at midnight for the thrill of it. Located at 1701 Western Avenue in Guilderland, this massive new store ends a nearly 90-minute drive to the nearest Costco and marks a huge milestone for locals who’ve long dreamed of bulk shopping right here at home. Beyond the deals, Costco’s kicking off with community goodwill — donating 500 backpacks to local kids through a nonprofit. Opening at 8 AM Wednesday, this isn’t just a retail event — it’s a game-changer for the region’s economy and everyday life.
