COSTCO REINVESTMENT

The Village Board approved a parking lot and gas station expansion for the Orland Park Costco at the September 15, 2025 Village Board meeting. Trustees supported the plan after reviewing traffic studies and hearing feedback from residents about congestion and long fuel lines. The project will relocate the current gas station to the opposite side of Ravinia Avenue, creating a more efficient traffic pattern for vehicles entering and exiting the property. In addition, the number of fuel pumps will increase significantly, expanding from 12 to 40 to better meet customer demand and reduce wait times.

As part of the agreement, Costco will fully fund and construct a new roundabout on Ravinia Avenue at the entrance to the parking lot, with the goal being to improve traffic flow, enhance pedestrian and driver safety and help alleviate congestion in the frequently crowded parking areas surrounding the store.
