The wait is over: Costco just made millions of customers in Washington happy

With 35 stores in Washington, Costco consolidates its dominance in the state with a new opening that many will appreciate

The retail giant keeps moving forward steadily. This time, the focus is on its home state, where Costco has just confirmed a desired announcement for thousands of residents.

Residents of Richland, in eastern Washington state, can now mark a date in red on their calendars. On August 8, 2025, the chain will open its new store.

A new opening in the heart of Washington

The new branch will be located at 3125 Queensgate Dr., in Richland. This opening brings the total number of Costco stores in the state to 35, not only strengthening its network but also reinforcing its presence near its headquarters in Issaquah. The announcement is already published on the company's official website, in its upcoming openings section.

This is a strategic decision in a region where the brand enjoys a solid reputation. The Richland store will be one of the most desired by consumers in the eastern part of the state. It is expected to attract both families and small businesses in the area.

August will be a key month for Costco's expansion

It is not the only store that will open in the United States during August. According to USA Today, new locations will also be added in three other states.

On August 6, a store will open in The Villages, Florida. In Allen, Texas, and Spring Valley, Nevada, two more openings are expected, although no exact dates have been confirmed. All of them are part of the national expansion strategy.

Costco also grows internationally

Alongside its growth in the United States, the brand is also making strong moves in other countries. This August, it will open new stores in Rimouski (Canada), Guadalajara (Mexico), and East Newmarket (Canada). These openings add to those in the spring in California, Massachusetts, and Texas, and internationally, Costco has consolidated its expansion in countries such as Japan, Sweden, and South Korea.

A model that keeps succeeding

Costco has managed to earn the trust of millions of customers; its approach based on low prices, quality, and shopping experience continues to make a difference. What began as a wholesale warehouse is now a global retail giant. Both households and businesses choose its services, and its growth shows no signs of slowing down.

With the new Richland store, the company not only expands its reach but also reaffirms its commitment to the state where it all began.
