Costco may soon be coming to a mall near you

Big box retailers are moving off the strip and into the mall.

Costco is just one of several large-sized retailers planning to take advantage of all of that empty real estate at malls across the country and start opening up shop. The warehouse club said it plans to open three stores at shopping malls, two in former department stores and it's looking to expand into even more locations, Costco co-founder and chairman, Jeff Brotman, told the Wall Street Journal.
