This November, Madison will welcome a new Costco, the fifth location in Alabama. Located in the growing Clift Farm Shopping Center along U.S. Route 72, the store sits between Jack Clift Blvd and Ridgeside Drive. The new Costco will neighbor Madison’s Planet Fitness, enhancing the area’s retail options. According to Costco’s new locations page, the store is expected to open in November.
The Clift Farm Shopping Center is part of the larger Clift Farm development, which includes a variety of single-family homes and townhomes equipped with modern amenities. This significant project is transforming land once owned by the Clift family, who sold the last portion of the farm in 2019 to Breland Companies.
Aerial images from as far back as the 1950s show the area’s agricultural roots, with farmland stretching across what is now a bustling retail hub. Urban growth began to impact the region in the 1970s and 1980s, and development has continued ever since, reshaping the landscape into the thriving community it is today.
