Costco will surpass 900 locations worldwide with the opening of several new warehouses in early March.
Back in December, the Issaquah, Washington-based retailer announced plans to open 29 new locations during its 2025 fiscal year, which runs until Aug. 31, 2025. Six of those are opening next month in the U.S.
Costco currently operates 897 warehouses – 617 of which are in the U.S. and Puerto Rico – and with the opening of those six new U.S. locations will amass 903 locations.
In addition to the 617 Costco warehouses in the U.S., the company has locations in Canada (109), Mexico (41), Japan (36) the U.K. (29), Korea (19), Australia (15), Taiwan (14), China (7), Spain (5), France (2) and one each in Iceland, New Zealand and Sweden.
Costco announced six new stores opening March 2025. Here are the locations and scheduled opening dates:
Opening dates are on the Costco website, except for the Genesee County, Michigan, location, for which the opening date was reported by several local media outlets. Costco said its company policy is not to share specific opening dates because they are subject to change due to construction schedules, city requirements, and other issues, in a statement to USA TODAY.
Costco also added three new locations to open in the weeks ahead:
-
Stuart, Florida (April 2025)
-
Minami Alps, Japan (April 2025)
-
Ardeer, Australia (2025)
As it expands, Costco is seeing an increase in net sales, up 8.2% to $113.55 billion for the first 22 weeks of its fiscal year, which began Sept. 2, 2024. Comparable sales in the U.S. rose 6.6% during that period, which included the holiday shopping season. Comparable U.S. sales rose 9.2% in the four-week period ending Feb. 2, the company announced earlier this month.
When Costco reports its second quarter 2025 earnings on March 6, analysts polled by S&P Global Market Intelligence are expecting revenue up more than 7% to $63 billion and net income of more than $1.8 billion, an increase of 4.5% over the same period a year ago.
The price of an annual Costco membership is $65 for U.S. and Canada Gold Star memberships; executive memberships are $130 (comes with an annual 2% in rewards, up to $1,250, and services discounts). Costco raised membership prices in September 2024 for the first time since 2017.
