Costco is set to expand its already massive global presence by opening 29 new warehouses during the 2025 fiscal year, including both domestic and international locations.
As the retail giant continues to grow, members can look forward to even more convenient access to Costco’s signature low prices, bulk offerings, and exclusive products.
During a recent earnings call on September 26, Costco CFO Gary Millerchip revealed the company’s ambitious plans to open 26 entirely new locations and relocate three existing ones during the fiscal year, which runs from September 2024 through August 2025. That brings the net total of new warehouse openings to 26.
While the majority of these warehouses will be based in the United States, Costco is also focusing on expanding its global footprint.
According to Millerchip, “we continue to see significant opportunities worldwide,” and as part of this global growth strategy, 12 new locations are planned for international markets.
Confirmed Costco Locations for 2025
Though Costco has yet to disclose all of the planned openings, the company has confirmed seven specific warehouse locations set to open this fall. These locations include:
- Bend, Oregon – October 2025
- Napa, California – October 2025
- Brantford, Ontario, Canada – November 2025
- Madison, Alabama – November 2025
- Ogori, Japan – November 2025
- Pleasanton, California – November 2025
- Torreón, Mexico – November 2025
These warehouses will be spread across multiple continents, further enhancing Costco’s reach and offering its members more convenient shopping experiences.
Particularly noteworthy is the opening of the fifth Costco in Spain, in the city of Zaragoza, which opened earlier in September 2024.
For those eagerly awaiting a Costco in their area, the retailer’s website frequently updates its “New Locations” page with confirmed openings, so it’s a good idea to check it regularly for updates on future warehouse locations.
Costco’s Continued Growth
Costco’s 2025 plans come on the heels of a very successful fiscal year in 2024, during which the chain opened 30 new warehouses, including one relocation.
Millerchip also noted that highlights from the year included Costco’s very first store in the state of Maine, making it the 47th U.S. state with a Costco location.
Additionally, the retailer celebrated the milestone of opening its 600th U.S. warehouse in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
Aggressive Expansion Plans Beyond 2025
Costco’s long-term growth strategy shows no signs of slowing down. CEO Ron Vachris indicated that the company is already eyeing future markets and considering additional locations in areas of North America where the company already has a presence.
This aggressive expansion is part of Costco’s goal to make the brand even more accessible to members globally.
Costco’s ability to open more than 20 warehouses annually—despite challenges faced by many businesses in the retail sector—illustrates its resilience and sustained demand for its warehouse club model.
This includes its bulk offerings, signature Kirkland products, and low-cost staples that have become a draw for both new and loyal customers.
Affordable Products To Enhance Member Experience
In addition to expanding its physical presence, Costco continues to focus on improving the customer experience by offering better value for its members.
This week, the company announced price cuts on several popular items in its warehouses. These include Kirkland Signature chicken tenderloins, baguettes, and aluminum foil—products that are now more affordable than before.
These moves align with Costco’s strategy to continually provide customers with quality products at competitive prices, reinforcing its reputation as a cost-saving haven.
Final Thoughts
As Costco expands with 29 new warehouses planned for 2025, its footprint in both U.S. and international markets continues to grow.
This includes long-anticipated new stores in locations such as Napa, California, and Madison, Alabama, providing more members access to the retailer’s array of bulk products, exclusive deals, and affordable prices.
With its global reach increasing and ongoing efforts to deliver cost savings for customers, Costco is on track for yet another banner year of growth.
