Texas – Costco, the popular membership-based warehouse retailer, is set to expand its presence in North Texas by opening two new locations. The first store will be in Prosper, scheduled to open on March 14, 2025, followed closely by a second store in Weatherford on March 15, 2025. The new developments are part of Costco’s ongoing rapid expansion strategy as it looks to meet growing consumer demand in the region.
The new Costco location in Prosper will be situated along US 380, while the Weatherford store is planned for the northwest corner of I-20 and Center Point Road. Notably, the Weatherford store will mark Costco’s first entry into Parker County, underscoring the company’s commitment to providing its services to areas where demand for wholesale shopping is rising.
Both stores are expected to feature a variety of amenities, including a food court, a gas station, and essential services such as a pharmacy and tire center. The Weatherford store, in particular, is anticipated to create over 230 new jobs for local residents, contributing to the economic growth of the community.
Costco’s expansion is not limited to North Texas. The company currently operates a total of 897 warehouses worldwide and is on track to exceed 900 locations after these new openings. Other upcoming locations include stores in Brentwood and Highland, California; Genesee County, Michigan; and Sharon, Massachusetts, all of which are also scheduled to launch in March 2025. Later in the year, Costco plans to open additional locations in Stuart, Florida; Minami Alps in Japan; and Ardeer, Australia.
This rapid expansion comes as Costco reported impressive net sales of $19.51 billion in January 2025, reflecting a significant 9.2% increase compared to the same month last year. The company’s sustained growth can also be attributed to an increase in customer spending, with U.S. comparable sales climbing by 6.6% during the third fiscal quarter of 2024.
Costco’s moves to develop new locations are also a strategic response to growing competition within the wholesale market, particularly against other retail giants such as Walmart’s Sam’s Club and BJ’s Wholesale Club. With existing Costco stores in the Dallas-Fort Worth area operating at full capacity, the need for additional locations has become increasingly evident.
In addition to the stores in Prosper and Weatherford, Costco has plans for a new location in Celina, which is expected to open by the end of 2025. During its current fiscal year, which began in September, the company aims to establish approximately 15 new locations across the United States.
Costco’s ongoing expansions reflect its focus on meeting customer demand while enhancing service accessibility in various communities. As the company continues to grow, its presence in North Texas and beyond is likely to increase, providing consumers with more options for wholesale shopping.
