I am hearing some rumors about a Costco being built on Airport Road (PA 987) not sure how legit the source is but hopefully it is true -- anyway we'll see what will be put in place once that construction is done....its supposed to be right in front of the BJ's wholesale club in Allentown.

Does anybody know anything about this construction?

I sure hope it's a Costco.

I'm no expert in placing stores but, putting a Sam's on Airport Rd seems way too close to the one in Whitehall off of MacArthur. There would literally only be like 2~3 miles between the two stores if they put one on Airport Rd. It'd be like some of the Dunkin Donuts franchises every other block in Easton, lol.

I've heard the Sam's on Macarthur is suppused to close when the new one opens. Don't know if this is true or not.

Default Sorry...

Sorry to disappoint...I too would love to see a Costco in the area. It will be a Sam's Club. I recently moved here and was a Sam's member. When shopping at the store on MacCarther I learned from the store manager that they are building a new Sam's openning next year on Airport. The old one will be closing. I moved from an area that had a new Sam's...the one here is NOTHING is comparison to that one...so there is hope...

The Walmart on Macarthur is also NOTHING compared to the new ones.

Where is this location anyway? Out past the airport heading North, or close to BJ's on South airport road?

You can see it from 22 E. It is right off the exit ramp going toward BJs.

Definitely will be a Sams Club. The manager was touting it at a Chamber of Commerce event.

Maybe Costco will come later.
