He also noted one-day grocery is handled through Instacart and is in warehouse.Ĭostco also opened the first of three planned fulfillment automation centers in Mira Loma, CA, less than eight weeks, according to Galanti. “I think we've done the first one, and we have got several more planned right around the end of spring, beginning of summer,” said Galanti. However, the retailer is in the process of moving these operations to six of its 'depots' over the next several months. “We now have grocery shipments to all 50 states.”Ĭostco fulfills two-day grocery delivery out of 10-11 of its business centers around the country. “While still these are small pieces of our total business operation they are growing nicely,” said Galanti.
