People began lining up as early as 6am to be the first ones into the store. Warehouse manager Mike Briere says he decided to open a Costco in Saint John because of the booming economy. He says he knew a lot of Saint Johners were already going to the Moncton store, and he wanted to take advantage of the excellent location at East Point.
The City of Saint John is taking steps to prepare for more traffic today.
Signals, markings and signage have been improved and motorists are being reminded not stop on the railroad tracks at the exit. All available officers from the traffic enforcement division will assist with traffic today
