The city of Buckeye is growing fast, which may have contributed to Costco’s decision to open a location on the southeast corner of Interstate 10 and Verrado Way.

The warehouse will anchor the new Buckeye Commons shopping center. Construction is underway, and the store is expected to open for business in July.

Queen Creek, Arizona

California has more Costco warehouses than any other state by far — and it’s adding another one in the capital too.

Ankeny, Iowa

Last November, the largest Costco in the Midwest opened in Ankeny, Iowa, in the Spectrum 36 development. The cold, snowy weather did not deter shoppers from lining up on opening day.

The 200,000-square-foot warehouse includes a food court, pharmacy, and gas station. It also has a distribution center, which no other Costco has in the Midwest.

Covington, Louisiana

The people of Kyle no longer have to drive to the Costco in Austin or Pflugerville because they just got their first store in March.

According to Kyle’s mayor, the city is excited about what the new Costco means for its economy.

Logan, Utah

The grand opening of Costco in Logan generated excitement among residents last November. Customers camped out overnight in 15-degree weather to ensure they were the first shoppers through the doors.
