It feels like no matter where you live, the big question on everyone’s mind is: “When’s a new Costco coming to town?!” Well, Costco fans, good news—fresh locations are officially in the works! Costco just announced they’re opening 29 shiny new stores between now and 2025. And let’s be real, we’re all thinking the same thing: "Please, let it be my town!"

WHERE IS COSTCO GOING NEXT?

So far, only 8 lucky places have been revealed, leaving the rest of us holding our breath for the other 21 spots. The chosen ones span both domestic and international locations:

• Bend, Oregon
• Madison, Alabama
• Pleasanton, California

CALIFORNIA'S READY TO PARTY

California, you’re scoring at least two new Costco spots in Pleasanton and Napa. Both are tucked away in Northern California near the Bay Area. So, Cali residents, time to celebrate—again!

WHO'S NEXT FOR A COSTCO?

With 21 unnamed future locations hanging in the balance, we’re all playing the guessing game. Is your town next? If there’s any justice, St. George, Utah has to be on the list! It’s been one of the fastest-growing cities for years, and their one Costco is basically bursting at the seams. Southern Utahns have been crossing their fingers for another one for ages—maybe this will finally be the year!

HOW DOES COSTCO PICK ITS SPOTS?

Costco doesn’t just throw a dart at a map and call it good. Nope, they’ve got a system, and it’s all about those suburban sweet spots. Here’s their secret sauce:

• Population Check: If there aren’t at least 200,000 people chilling within a 5-mile radius, Costco’s moving on.
• Income Level: Got a median income of $75K or more? Congrats, you’re in the running—because, let’s face it, stocking up in bulk is better when you’ve got some spending power.
• Demographic Dream Team: Costco’s after those college-educated, multi-person households—they’re basically their shopping squad.
• Sales Numbers: If a region’s existing Costco stores are raking it in, you can bet they’re thinking about adding more.

So, if you’re still wondering why Costco hasn’t landed in your area, it’s because they’re playing hard to get with some pretty high standards!
