Overview
- Costco updated its new-locations page this week to list 14 warehouses slated to open by the end of November 2026, with five scheduled in October and nine in November.
- The U.S. rollouts include Lee’s Summit, The Colony, Amherst, Lawrence and Camarillo in October and S. Meridian, Vallejo, Chandler (a Business Center), Newport News and Franklin in November.
- November’s list adds four Canadian sites in Northeast Edmonton, Lloydminster, East Windsor and Wasaga Beach, reflecting the company’s stated plan to split new openings roughly 50/50 between domestic and international markets.
- At least one opening is a relocation: the Newport News project follows a 32-acre purchase for a larger 163,000 sq. ft. warehouse with a planned fuel station; local approvals and proposals in places like Downey, Charleston County and Hillsborough County show ongoing site-level activity.
- Company leaders have set a multi-year target to open 30 or more warehouses a year and the current schedule builds on earlier 2026 openings in several U.S. states and overseas, which could mean steadier local job creation, more member access to large-format services, and continued municipal land and permitting negotiations.
