A standalone Costco gas station may come to the city of Goleta

The Santa Barbara Airport Commission has approved an exclusive negotiating agreement with Costco, allowing the company to explore establishing a standalone gas station in Goleta. The proposed site at 6050 Hollister Avenue and 140 Frederic Lopez Road is near the Santa Barbara Airport's economy parking lot and would be Costco's first gas station on the South Coast. Local officials and residents are considering the potential benefits and drawbacks, including traffic congestion, as this development could significantly impact the area.
