A new Costco in Noblesville is opening soon. Here's everything we know about it.

Costco will open a membership warehouse in Noblesville next week, according to a news release issued Wednesday by the Washington State-based company.

The new 152,000-square-foot warehouse will open 8 a.m. Tuesday at 14775 North Pointe Blvd., at the corner of Highway 37 and 146th Street, behind the Tom Wood Volkswagen dealership.

Previously, area residents had to drive roughly 10 miles southwest to Castleton, 20 miles southwest to Fortune Park or 38 miles southwest to Avon to shop at Costco, according to the company.

“We are thrilled to be bringing Costco’s warehouse prices to the residents of Noblesville,” said Warehouse Manager Taynin Harvey in a news release. “They have been asking us to open here for a long time, and we already have made an impact on the local job market. We look forward to contributing to the community in many ways.”

Like other Costco locations, the Noblesville warehouse will offer merchandise from brands that include Adidas, Apple, Callaway Golf, Champion, Disney, Eddie Bauer, KitchenAid, Samsonite, Samsung, Skechers and Sony.
