Hello everyone, we are back at the Costco in Salem, Oregon.
So this is gonna be the last day of business
before they move to a new location.
Here's the sign.
They're going to be closing at 5:30 PM today...
as of March the 9th.
On March the 10th, the new one will be open.
We're inside now.
I found out that there wasn't a liquidation sale going on.
The shelves over there are also empty.
Although, we still have a lot of stuff in here.
It is kind of busy as far as I know.
Again, I can't believe this is the last day of operation.
Kind of sad that they're moving away.
As I mentioned before, the new location will be about
10 minutes South.
I initially thought they were gonna be open in the summer time
but, turns out I was wrong.
They built the new Costco pretty fast.
I also heard that this old Costco property got sold to
Salem-Keizer School District.
Basically, this will become a school bus depot.
It doesn't sound bad, I guess.
What are your thoughts about this building turning into
a school bus depot?
Just let me know down in the comments.
If you're able to.
Really appreciate it, everyone.
I can notice that some of the items are in sale now.
Now I'm not sure if I'll be able to film
the future abandoned Costco.
Just because the property is already sold.
And not sure if the school district is going to take over right away
once this Costco clears everything out on the inside.
Anyways, this was the food preparation area before selling them.
Totally unbelievable.
People have their own opinion whether they like or don't like
the new idea of the new Costco location.
For me personally, I don't like the idea, to be honest.
Because it is obviously be a bit far away from where I live.
But, gotta accept the reality.
And that's life.
Some people are excited about it and that's totally fine.
Plus, the ones who live in South Salem,
the new Costco will be closer to them.
So yeah!
This Costco is already 30 years now.
That's crazy.
Got a lot of boxes and stuff in the employees' area.
That portion over there is a lot different.
I remember there used to be a shelving in the middle part.
Well, not anymore.
I'm pretty sure there'll be less traffic once this Costco is done.
But the new one, it'll be a lot of traffic.
I can imagine that.
This area right here is empty.
By just looking at the amount of merchandise,
not everything is gonna be sold out at once.
Apparently one of the employees who work here
said that it'll be transferred to a different Costco stores.
Same thing applies to the fixtures.
On top of that, everything is gonna be empty.
That's what I'm expecting.
More nearly empty shelves over here.
Oh by the way, the pharmacy over there is also closed.
We're gonna check out pretty soon.
I can see the lights are turned off in the pharmacy department.
So that's good.
Well, here it is.
They have the entire stuff transferred to the new location.
No one is working here anymore, obviously.
I always thought those signs were pretty cool.
Let's take a peek in there.
No more medicines in there.
Once again, here's the hearing aid center.
Don't see anyone working.
Let's check the fresh produce for the last time.
And here we are.
Just some stuff in here.
It's a little different because the upper part is almost empty.
That's done, let's head out.
Let's check the dairy for the final time.
Here we are.
Not too much stuff.
It's nearly empty.
As always, it's cold!
I'm gonna miss coming to this part.
Some of the major appliances are gone.
I always thought those giant fans were pretty cool.
Let's go over there.
The optical is open.
We haven't checked the hallway yet.
Now it's the time to do so.
To the right, you got the lockers for the employee.
Here's the information of the new Costco location.
If you guys remember that I posted this picture
on my community tab a while ago, this is the one.
That't the end of the hallway.
Let's go back where we came from.
I'm gonna miss this food court.
It's a little busy, I guess.
I'm also gonna miss the dining area.
I used to eat here once.
We haven't checked the gas station
so let's do it right now.
This is what it looks like.
They're gonna get rid of it once Costco is done.
This is the tire installation center.
It's also closed.
Quite some things in there.
And that's pretty much it.
That's gonna wrap up for the video.
Make sure to give it a like, comment, share, by doing so,
and until next time.
Peace out.
