Costco’s Expansion in Texas
The openings in Prosper and Weatherford are part of Costco’s broader strategy to expand its presence in the state and increase accessibility to its warehouse shopping model. There are plans for a new location in Allen later this year, specifically at the southeast corner of Stacy Road and State Highway 121. Currently, Costco manages a total of 903 warehouses worldwide, with 623 located in the United States and 40 in Texas, offering nearly 20 locations in North Texas alone.
Future Developments
In addition to the openings in Texas, Costco continues to expand both nationally and internationally with additional locations set to open in Brentwood and Highland, California, as well as in Genesee County, Michigan, and Sharon, Massachusetts. Stores are also lined up for opening in Stuart, Florida, and international locations in Minami Alps, Japan, and Ardeer, Australia. This rapid expansion underscores the strong demand for Costco’s variety of products and shopping experience.
Sales Performance
Costco recently reported impressive sales performance with net sales reaching $19.51 billion in January 2025, reflecting a 9.2% increase from the previous year. This significant growth highlights the effectiveness of Costco’s business model, resonating well with consumers. An upcoming earnings call scheduled for March 6, 2025, is poised to provide additional insights into the company’s performance and strategic initiatives.
