190 JOBS CREATED, THOUSANDS OF UNIQUE ITEMS TAILORED TO BUSINESS NEEDS
Costco Business Centre Winnipeg
WINNIPEG, Manitoba, March 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Costco Wholesale opened its eleventh Canadian Business Centre today, marking the first in Manitoba. Located at the site of the former 1315 St. James St warehouse, the 137,000 square-foot facility is a conversion of the original Costco Winnipeg, which recently relocated to 4077 Portage Avenue W. The new Business Centre has created 190 local jobs and offers unprecedented convenience for local businesses.
The Business Centre concept is open to ALL Costco members. It is vastly different from a traditional Costco warehouse, as more than 70 percent of the product offerings are unique to the Business Centre, targeting the needs of businesses of all sizes, including restaurants, offices, and convenience stores.
The new Winnipeg Costco Business Centre offers thousands of high-quality, business-specific items in industrial-sized quantities. Items are targeted at restaurants, convenience/grocery stores, and offices, ranging from professional kitchenware to expanded grocery and office supplies. A full-service Costco Pharmacy is also available at this location, with operating hours that match the warehouse’s business-friendly schedule. The facility includes a large cooler at 14,000 square feet and an indoor loading area. A dedicated next-day delivery service is available inside a designated delivery zone across the city, utilizing a fleet of 6 trucks.
Costco Members can find the same items in-store and online by visiting Costcobusinesscentre.ca. Business-friendly hours are Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Opening week promotions at the Winnipeg Business Centre feature substantial savings, including $110 off a Eurodib single heavy-duty induction cooker, $40 off per unit of Canada ungraded beef tenderloin, and $30 off a Sagetra 3-tier wire basket cart. Members can also find a number of exclusive items available only at this location, such as a 208 L barrel of Terra Delyssa Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a full wheel of 13-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, and local favourites like a 11.4 L tub of Prairie West ice cream in various flavours and a 24 x 473 mL case of Farmery Craft Soda.
“We are thrilled to open our doors and offer this new service, which will better respond to the needs of local business owners,” said Marc-André Bally, Senior Vice President Western Canada and Business Centres. “The Costco Business Centre concept is already a resounding success in other parts of the country, and we look forward to offering the same benefits to businesses in Winnipeg and surrounding areas. This site previously served Winnipeg members for 35 years, and we are excited for this new chapter as a hub for the local business community.”
