Exciting News for North Texas: Costco Expands with Two New Stores!
Hey there, North Texas residents! Big news is coming your way as Costco prepares to open not one but two brand new warehouse locations in the area. That’s right! Our favorite wholesale retailer will be kicking off this expansion with a store in **_Prosper_** set to open its doors on March 14, 2025, followed closely by a **_Weatherford_** store opening the next day, March 15, 2025.
Warehouse Locations
For those of you wondering about the locations, the new Prosper store will be conveniently located along US 380. Meanwhile, the Weatherford gem will be situated right at the northwest corner of the I-20 and Center Point Road intersection. This Weatherford location is particularly special as it will be the **_first Costco in Parker County_**! How cool is that?
What to Expect
Both of these new Costco locations are expected to include all the fantastic amenities we have come to love. In Prosper, shoppers can look forward to a food court (hello, pizza!) and a gas station, along with various services such as a pharmacy and a tire center. The Weatherford store is anticipated to offer similar services, and the best part? It’s projected that over **_230 new jobs_** will be created in the area once this location opens!
Growth on All Fronts
Now, let’s take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Costco isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Currently, they operate 897 warehouses worldwide, and with these new openings, they are aiming to surpass the 900 mark. Exciting times ahead! Their expansion plans don’t stop at Texas either, as they’ve announced additional stores to open in places like Brentwood and Highland in California, Genesee County in Michigan, and Sharon, Massachusetts—all slated for March 2025.
Future Plans
Looking ahead, Costco has even more in store for the latter part of 2025. Locations in Stuart, Florida, Minami Alps in Japan, and Ardeer, Australia are also on the horizon. With a recent report showing net sales of $19.51 billion in January 2025, which marks a solid **_9.2% increase_** from the last year, it’s clear that Costco is on an impressive growth trajectory. Their sales are climbing thanks to increased customer spending, with U.S. comparable sales jumping by 6.6% in the third fiscal quarter of 2024.
Meeting Demand
In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Costco’s existing stores are already operating at full capacity, showcasing the growing demand for more locations. As it stands, Costco is set to open approximately 15 locations across the U.S. during this fiscal year, which began back in September. Among these, an additional spot in Celina is also planned to debut by the end of 2025, so local shoppers have a lot to look forward to!
Final Thoughts
In summary, with these fresh openings in Prosper and Weatherford, Costco is making a strong move to ensure that North Texas shoppers have convenient access to their beloved warehouse shopping experience. Buckle up, folks, because the next couple of years are looking bright for bargain hunters across the region!
