Costco Announces 29 NEW Locations! Utah, California & Nevada Shoppers: GET READY!

It seems like everywhere you turn, people are asking the same question: “When are we getting a new Costco?!” Well, good news for Costco fans—new stores are officially on the horizon! The warehouse giant has announced plans to open 29 brand-new locations by 2025. And let’s be honest, we’re all collectively crossing our fingers, hoping our town makes the cut.

WHERE ARE THE NEW COSTCOS GOING?

So far, only eight lucky locations have been revealed, leaving 21 mystery spots still under wraps. The confirmed new Costcos are popping up in both domestic and international cities:

• Bend, Oregon
• Madison, Alabama
• Pleasanton, California
• Napa, California
• Zaragoza, Spain
• Torreon, Mexico
• Brantford, Ontario, Canada
• Ogori, Japan

CALIFORNIA SCORES BIG—AGAIN

California is once again flexing its Costco privilege with two new locations in Pleasanton and Napa, both in Northern California. Bay Area residents, consider this your cue to celebrate.

WHO’S NEXT FOR A COSTCO?

With 21 unannounced locations still in the works, it’s anyone’s guess who’ll land a new store. One thing’s for sure: Southern Utah has been waiting (not so patiently) for another Costco in St. George. With explosive growth in the area, their lone Costco is practically bursting at the seams. Could 2025 finally be the year St. George gets a second location? Fingers crossed!

HOW DOES COSTCO CHOOSE ITS LOCATIONS?

Costco doesn’t just spin a globe and pick a spot—it’s a strategic science. Here’s their checklist for picking new sites:

• Population Density: They want at least 200,000 people living within a five-mile radius.
• Income Levels: A median household income of $75,000 or higher puts your town on Costco’s radar.
• Demographics: College-educated, multi-person households are Costco’s sweet spot.
• Sales Performance: If nearby Costco stores are thriving, you can bet they’re considering adding more.

So, if you’re still wondering why Costco hasn’t shown up in your neighborhood, it’s not personal—they’re just playing hard to get. Stay tuned for updates, and in the meantime, keep those fingers crossed!
