Texas Welcomes Two New Costco Stores in North Texas
Residents of North Texas are in for a treat as Costco gears up to open two new warehouse locations in the area. The first store will debut in Prosper on March 14, 2025, followed by a second store in Weatherford, which is set to open on March 15, 2025.
Store Locations and Features
The new Costco in Prosper will be conveniently located along US 380, while the Weatherford store will be situated at the northwest corner of the I-20 and Center Point Road intersection. Notably, the Weatherford store will be the first Costco in Parker County, marking a significant development for local residents.
Shoppers at both new locations can expect a variety of amenities that Costco is known for. The Prosper store will include a food court, which offers popular items like pizza, along with a gas station, a pharmacy, and a tire center. The Weatherford store is expected to mirror these features, and it is projected to create over 230 new jobs in the area once it opens.
Costco’s Ongoing Expansion
This expansion marks another step in Costco’s growth strategy. Currently, the company operates 897 warehouses worldwide and aims to reach the 900 mark with these latest openings. The expansion is not limited to Texas; Costco has plans for new stores in various locations including Brentwood and Highland in California, Genesee County in Michigan, and Sharon, Massachusetts, all set to open in March 2025.
Looking Ahead
Costco’s trajectory remains promising, as additional stores are slated to open later in 2025 in Stuart, Florida, Minami Alps in Japan, and Ardeer, Australia. Recent reports indicated that Costco achieved net sales of $19.51 billion in January 2025, representing a 9.2% increase from the previous year. This growth is attributed to a rise in customer spending, with U.S. comparable sales increasing by 6.6% in the third fiscal quarter of 2024.
Addressing Local Demand
In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, existing Costco stores are running at full capacity, showcasing a growing demand for more locations. During the current fiscal year, which began in September, Costco plans to open approximately 15 locations across the United States. An additional store in Celina is also expected to open by the end of 2025, providing more options for local shoppers.
Conclusion
The opening of new Costco locations in Prosper and Weatherford appears to be a strategic move to meet the growing demand for wholesale shopping in North Texas. With these upcoming stores, residents will have increased access to Costco’s popular offerings, further reinforcing the retailer’s commitment to expanding its footprint in the area.
