Boca's Costco gets gas

On Nov. 17, County Commissioner Steven Abrams joined other local officials at the opening of the new and long-awaited gas station at Costco on Congress Avenue in Boca Raton.

Costco originally opened at this location a number of years ago following much controversy with surrounding neighborhoods. The permits issued initially prohibited Costco from installing gas pumps.

Since then, Costco has become a popular destination for those originally opposed to the big box store. Now, residents expressed an overwhelming approval for the gas station.
