Costco Coming to Irondale: Job Boost & Economic Boom

Irondale, Alabama, is set to welcome a new economic powerhouse: a Costco store, expected to create 200-300 jobs and generate $6-8 million annually in sales tax revenue. Mayor James Stewart Junior announced the project in 2025, with construction starting in January 2026 and a grand opening in April 2028. The massive 160,000 sq. ft. store will require extensive infrastructure work, including road realignment and utility upgrades. Blasting will be carefully planned, with resident meetings and safety evaluations to ensure neighborhood safety. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city.
