Costco Making Changes Likely To Affect Scarborough, Maine, Store

Costco couldn't have asked for a better introduction into Maine. The wholesale retailer has become an instant hit in southern Maine, with crowds of people pouring into the store on a regular basis to snap up the hottest deals.

But one of the things Maine people will quickly learn about Costco is that they are consistently evolving. And when Costco announces changes, that likely means they are coming soon to a store near you.

Costco Plans to Bring New Food Offerings to Its Members Soon

According to The Street, Costco has begun to roll out a sushi program to its highest-volume stores with plans to expand the program rapidly. The sushi offerings will be made in-house on a daily basis (think Costco's spectacular bakery) and will be made featuring fresh fish and fresh crab.

Another change that will be available sooner rather than later will be take-and-bake pizza. Costco food court pizza has long been a hit for members and now Costco will roll out a line of gourmet Costco pizza members can bake at home.

Costco is Planning Changes For Their Gas Stations As Well

Costco has announced a pair of changes to their stores that feature gas stations. One change has already taken place in Scarborough, where Costco has rolled out extended house for their gas station. Costco members can now fill their tank an hour after the warehouse closes on most days.

Another change being rolled out to various Costco stores is the addition of EV charges for electric vehicles. Costco hopes to install EV chargers at 90 locations by the end of 2025.
