Costco to Anchor The Pomp: A New Retail Chapter in Pompano Beach

In a game-changing move for local development and retail, Costco has been announced as a major anchor for The Pomp, a sprawling 223‑acre mixed-use transformation in Pompano Beach. (Miami New Times, Business Journals)

The Vision: A Destination 2.0
Already underway on this massive site is the revitalization of the former Isle Casino property. The Pomp blends entertainment, culture, retail, residential, hospitality, and office uses into one dynamic, 24/7 community hub. Current highlights include Harrah’s (1,200+ slot machines, poker, restaurants) and Topgolf, with future offerings including Sports & Social and a PBR Cowboy Bar.(KXAN, Miami New Times)

Costco’s Arrival: Economic Perks and Expansion
Costco’s addition to The Pomp signals more than just retail growth. It’s expected to generate 250–300 new jobs, with competitive starting wages at $20.50 for cashiers and an average of $26.77 across positions….marking a solid economic lift for the city.(newpelican.com)

Moreover, local officials announced plans to offer 5,000 free memberships to residents earning under $50,000 annually, an initiative that underscores the social benefits accompanying this development.(Miami New Times, newpelican.com)

What’s Next & Timeline
The project, approved by the city’s Planning and Zoning Board in July 2025, is now expected to go before the Development Review Committee (DRC) in September. If all goes well, Costco aims for a Fall 2027 opening, bringing both convenience and excitement to the Pompano Beach community.(newpelican.com, Miami New Times)
