Costco to Build at Old Outlets Mall Location

There’s a little more at Costco coming to Knoxville. If I learn more, I’ll be sure to update that post.

This is great news! Do the folks at http://wewantcostco.com/ know about this yet? Let’s keep those signatures coming.

There are Costcos in Tennessee now, i.e. Nashville & Memphis, that don’t sell wine.

The liquor laws there are not that different from Knoxville and I don’t believe any of those stores can sell wine.

The liquor store owners have a lobby to keep things as they are now.

I am very excited for Costco to be coming to Knoxville.  I have been waiting for a long time.  I don’t know of any markets where Costco and Sams Club do not co-exist, oftentimes directly across the street from each othe. There is plenty of business for both.  In fact, often a city the size of Knoxville will have more than one Costco just as Knoxville currently has more than one Sams Club.  If a problem arises to building it in Farragut we, in North Knoxvill,e would welcome Costco with open arms.
