Brandywine Costco

The Costco in Brandywine, MD has opened! When I drove past this afternoon, the parking lot looked close to full with more cars making the turn into what is now known as Brandywine Crossing. The Shopping center is also anchored with Target which has been open for several weeks.

But, the excitement today was Costco. Why? Because, until now, the closest Costco was in Springfield, VA, which can be an hour or more away from Southern Maryland, depending on traffic. And gas is $1.98 per gallon for members!

According to the listing Brokers site, the retail center, when complete, will boast 368,000 sq ft of anchor space, 55,000 sq ft of specialty shop retail, and a 16 screen movie theatre. Completion is expected between Fall of 2009 and Spring of 2010.

Hi Craig,
I have heard there is gas for under $2.00/gal in some areas but have yet to see it for myself.  I love Costco!!!  The closest one to me is in Wilmington but it is worth the drive for the savings.

Can you believe that gas has come down this far?  We have quite hit that low in the Raleigh area but I know it's coming soon!  Costco's are great by the way - not surprised that the parking lot was full!

Craig, that is totally cheap gas!  I didn't even know they sold gas at Costco stores!

Hey Pat - My guess it's just the newer ones that have gas. And it's cheap!

Renee - I filled up this afternoon for $36 and some change and I put in 18 gallons or so. I remember not too long ago it cost me almost twice that!
