Thoughts on the rumour that Costco Docklands is closing?

I kind of think it's a good riddance. The inner city is ill suited for an automotive dependant single story superstore. It's fun when a V/Line replacement coach gets stuck in the queue of drivers wanting to turn into Costco.

In Japan you have to head well out of the way to visit Costco. The only one in Tokyo is in Hachioji. Otherwise you have to visit Yokohama, Saitama or Chiba prefecture.

supposedly Pakey is getting one, but the rumour location is terrible for access so it looks like they've learned nothing.

I heard Cardinia Rd Officer, where did you hear?

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That was the original choice yes, now I'm hearing off Koo Wee Rup Rd, south of the freeway. Which was a shitshow before the upgrades, but too early to say if the upgrades will help or not.

yeahhhhhh cant imagine a worse location in paky. Except in main street near the vic roads testing lane thing. That's horrendous too.
