Costco has opened new locations in Prosper and Weatherford, Texas, offering a wide range of bulk goods and fresh produce. The Prosper store is located on University Drive, and the Weatherford store is on Center Point Road. Both openings have generated excitement among local shoppers. Customers are already enjoying the shopping experience, with some positive feedback on the stores’ layout and product selection. This expansion is part of Costco’s strategy to reach more members and improve shopping accessibility in Texas and beyond.
Texas is welcoming two new Costco locations, as the retail giant continues its expansion within the state. The Prosper location opened on March 14, 2025, while the Weatherford store opened its doors the following day on March 15, 2025. These new warehouses are part of Costco’s broader strategy to enhance its presence both nationally and globally.
The Costco in Prosper is located at 5620 W. University Drive at the intersection of University Drive and FM 1385. The Weatherford store is situated at 310 Center Point Road, on the northwest corner of I-20 and Center Point Road. Construction on the Prosper store began in March 2024, and both openings have been met with positive feedback from customers who appreciate the variety and convenience offered.
As customers flocked to these openings, reports indicate a busy atmosphere characterized by large crowds. Patrons were generally satisfied with their experiences but noted that navigating through the stores required patience due to the rush of visitors eager to take advantage of Costco’s offerings.
The opening of these locations reflects Costco’s commitment to growth, driven in part by the enthusiastic acceptance of its retail model by members. Currently, Costco operates a total of 903 warehouses worldwide, with 623 located in the United States. In Texas, Costco has approximately 40 stores, roughly 20 of which can be found in North Texas alone.
In addition to the new stores in Prosper and Weatherford, Costco announced plans for another location later this year in Allen, set to open at the southeast corner of Stacy Road and State Highway 121. This continued expansion indicates the retailer’s confidence in the North Texas market and its growing customer base.
Costco’s recent openings are not limited to Texas. Other locations that opened in March 2025 include stores in Brentwood and Highland, California, as well as Genesee County, Michigan, and Sharon, Massachusetts. Looking ahead, Costco has further openings scheduled for April, including locations in Stuart, Florida, Minami Alps in Japan, and Ardeer, Australia.
Financially, Costco seems to be thriving, reporting net sales of $19.51 billion for January 2025. This figure represents a 9.2% increase compared to the same month the previous year, illustrating the retailer’s robust growth trajectory. The next earnings call for Costco is scheduled for March 6, 2025, providing investors and analysts with updates on the company’s financial performance and growth plans.
As Costco continues to expand within Texas and beyond, the company aims to meet the growing demand for its products and services. With competitive pricing and a diverse product range, the new locations in Prosper and Weatherford are poised to become key players in fulfilling the needs of local consumers.
In summary, Texas residents can look forward to the convenience and selection that the new Costco stores in Prosper and Weatherford bring, as well as future openings around the globe. The recent openings signify not just store expansion, but also a strong commitment to customer satisfaction and meeting market demands.
