Costco to Open 9 New Stores Next Month: Is One Near You?
Costco shoppers have plenty of reasons to be excited this summer.
The warehouse giant is continuing its expansion plans with nine new locations on the way, including two stores opening their doors this week. The beloved bulk store is pushing toward more than 640 locations across the United States, so clearly, the retailer has no plans to slow down.
Two new Costco stores open this week
The first wave of openings arrives almost immediately. A new Costco warehouse in Syracuse, Utah, opened on Tuesday, June 24, followed by a new location in Pensacola, Florida, which will open on Wednesday, June 25.
Seven more locations are on the way
If your city isn't on this week's list, fear not. There may still be good news ahead.
Costco has announced seven additional stores all expected to open in August 2026, according to their website:
- Albany, New York
- Oconomowoc, Wisconsin
- Otsego, Minnesota
- Mansfield, Texas
- Celina, Texas
- Stone Mountain, Georgia
- Lee's Summit, Missouri
USA Today reports that during a May earnings call, Costco executives revealed plans to open approximately 26 warehouses during fiscal year 2026. Looking further ahead, the company expects to add 30 or more new locations annually in future years. They are also set to open a location in Taiwan next month in the city of S Kaohsiung.
Trader Joe's is expanding, too
Costco isn't the only retailer adding new locations this year. Earlier this month, Trader Joe's announced nine additional stores headed to communities across the country. The newest locations are planned for Phoenix, Arizona; Sarasota, Florida; Chicago, Illinois; Quincy, Massachusetts; Farmington Hills, Michigan; Syracuse and Yonkers, New York; University Heights, Ohio; and West Jordan, Utah.
Unlike Costco, Trader Joe's has not yet announced opening dates for the stores, though shoppers can monitor the company's "coming soon" pages for all the updates.
