BRANFORD, CT – Residents who want Costco to build a store in town aren’t giving up, even though the company has told the town it is no longer interested in building a 158,000-square-foot store near Exit 56 off Interstate 95.

Supporters of Costco have started a Bring Costco To Branford Facebook page and are circulating a petition on the page, asking for signatures, that they plan to turn over to First Selectman Jamie Cosgrove – asking Cosgrove to ask Costco to reconsider.
