Once the old Washington Mall is torn down, Costco will become the anchor tenant. When Costco takes over the property, which has been empty for more than a decade, it will be one of the biggest stores in southwest Pennsylvania, bringing hundreds of new jobs to the area.

Washington County commissioners said most of the old Washington Mall will be torn down to make way for new dining and retail. Those new locations will include a Costco store.
