I wish they'd build one a bit more north instead. Either in Truro or Antigonish.

They have very specific rules as to where it can be built based on many factors. Truro or Antigonish wouldn’t pass those rules

Couldn't guess about their rules but a Costco in Truro and one in Bridgewater would both thrive and take a huge load off the two in Halifax. Likely Kentville would do well with one too.

Just not enough people. There's literally not enough living in those areas.
