Costco Wholesale has posted online job openings for more than 30 types of positions at its first store in the Dayton area, according to the company’s website.

Costco's 148,000-square-foot store and fuel station is scheduled to open in November. The members-only retail warehouse will employ 200 people and will anchor phase one of the Cornerstone of Centerville project at Wilmington Pike and Feedwire Road, just off I-675.

Costco, the nation’s second-largest retailer, operates two stores in the Cincinnati area and two in the Columbus area, but has not entered the Dayton-area market until now.

Costco reportedly pays its hourly workers an average of just over $20 an hour.

The company’s website lists job opportunities that range from forklift operator to registered pharmacist. For more information, visit costco.com/jobs.
