Costco posts job opening for Ridgeland location

A Costco Wholesale contractor is advertising on LinkedIn a product demonstrator position for a location in Ridgeland.

Quote:
The wholesaler does not have a store in Mississippi, but has recently eyed three sites in the Jackson Metro – two in Flowood and one adjacent to Smith-Wills Stadium in Jackson. A Ridgeland site has not yet been mentioned. A specific location is not listed in the job posting, which first appeared Monday both on Warehouse Demonstration Service's website and LinkedIn page......more....

"She said the posting was "completely not correct" and the company was investigating how it got posted to LinkedIn in the first place. When we asked how the post is "not correct" - Velasquez refused any further comment."

"Ridgeland mayor Gene McGee said the city has not been in contact with Costco. "I know nothing about it," he said of the job posting. "It would obviously be wonderful, but at this point, I've told you everything I know.""

Who knows what's going on with Costco? These two comments at least paint the picture that Costco is not coming to Ridgeland, but you never know. I'm still hopeful for a Jackson proper location, but I am going to give this "error" some credence. I just can't see someone who lives in San Diego even knowing of Ridgeland's existence, (And that's not a crack against Ridgeland. I'm just saying it does not have the name cache that Jackson would have), unless there were some type of preliminary talk about a location there.

I think someone jumped the gun and started ahead when they weren't supposed to.

I'm chalking this up as an error. Why post store positions for a building that's not even been thought of?

Maybe they are taking over a existing building

Is there an empty building in Ridgeland large enough to fit a Costco?

I'll believe a Costco coming to that area when I see it built. That's like Walmart and Yazoo City. They have been saying one is coming there for 15 yrs and still nothing.

Well, Sams is moving on Jan or Feb. I can't imagine them taking over a Sams but who knows.
