Brief Bits

Readers do give me tips so it was no surprise when one asked if Costco is coming to town. The town’s economic developer, Jason Cannon, would know, I thought. This is his answer.

“Costco is a retailer I often hear is interested in Wake Forest – from our retail consultants to local brokers and developers.  It doesn’t surprise me one of your readers has heard similarly.  At this point, there really is no news to share.  No plans have been submitted.  As always seems to be the case, there’s ample chatter – but no evidence to undergird any of it at this juncture.”
