Costco is not slowing down anytime soon. The popular warehouse chain is pushing forward with its expansion plan, with three new locations scheduled to open by July 2025. One of those will be right here in the United States. If you are a loyal Costco shopper or just curious about where the next store might pop up, here is what you need to know.
Where is Costco opening next in the U.S.?
If you live in Midland, Texas, get ready — Costco is coming your way.
- The Midland warehouse is expected to open in July 2025
- It will bring the total number of U.S. and Puerto Rico warehouses to 625
- This is part of Costco’s goal to open 25 to 30 new stores each year
Costco did not share specific details about what the new Midland store will look like or when exactly it will open. But based on previous locations, you can expect the same wide aisles, bulk bargains, and that familiar food court that so many people love.
What other countries will get new Costco stores?
Alongside the U.S. expansion, Costco is growing overseas too. The company is planning two international openings:
- Pyeongtaek, South Korea – June 2025
- Malmo, Sweden – July 2025
This is in line with what Gary Millerchip, Costco’s Chief Financial Officer, shared in March: “Our strategy is to open 25–30 new locations each year, typically with half in the U.S. and half in international markets.”
That balance helps the company keep growing while also reaching new global markets.
