Attention, America! Costco announces 6 new store openings in March – Find out where
Costco is expanding its footprint in the U.S., announcing six new store openings across four states in March 2025. With this expansion, the retail giant is on track to surpass 900 locations worldwide, reinforcing its position in the global market.
Some retail chains in the United States have struggled to stay afloat due to inflation, which has led to declining sales and difficulties in maintaining their workforce and business operations.
However, other companies continue to expand, and some even kicked off 2025 by opening new locations. One such retailer is Costco, which has announced the launch of six new stores across four states in March.
With this expansion, Costco strengthens its position as a retail giant, headquartered in Issaquah, Washington. The company is set to surpass 900 locations worldwide as of February.
