Costco Secures $6 Million Land Deal for New Amherst Location

Costco is moving forward with plans for a new store in Amherst, New York, after purchasing a 14-acre parcel at 4230 Ridge Lea Road for $6 million, according to Erie County Clerk’s office records. The site, located across from Boulevard Consumer Square and previously home to a Tony Roma’s restaurant, marks a significant step toward the retailer’s expansion in the region.

The development is part of a broader transformation along Ridge Lea Road, with construction already underway for a new Dick’s Sporting Goods House of Sport adjacent to the Costco site. The addition of these major retailers is expected to boost local commerce and draw more shoppers to the area.

This acquisition follows Costco’s ongoing efforts to establish a presence in Amherst, a move that has been anticipated by local residents and officials. The new store is poised to offer the retailer’s signature bulk goods and services, further solidifying its footprint in Western New York.
