Costco has been making some changes lately, and another one is opening soon in Florida.
The popular warehouse chain famous for wholesale prices and bulk packages is opening seven new locations in North America in August, including one in The Villages, according to the company’s “coming soon” page.
Costco announced plans in March to open 25-30 new locations every year, typically with half of them in the U.S. and the other half in international markets. The August openings include new stores in Texas, Nevada, Washington, Quebec, Ontario, and Mexico.
Here’s what to know.
Where is Costco opening new locations in Florida?
Costco is opening at least nine new stores across the country in 2025. One of them opened in Stuart in April to about 1,000 people waiting outside.
The next new Florida location will be in The Villages in August, opening Aug. 6 at the Buffalo Ridge Shopping Plaza on County Road 466. The doors will open at 8 a.m. to welcome shoppers, a Costco spokesperson told The Daily Commercial.
The Villages Costco will launch with membership incentives for new members signing up for the first time or for lapsed members with expired memberships of at least 18 months. The offer will be on the website before opening, although a time frame has not been announced.
Elsewhere around the state, another new Costco is reportedly coming to Sanford, and talks are in the works for more potential spots, including Port St. Lucie, Pensacola and Miami.
Costco opens earlier for Executive members
Costco shoppers with executive memberships got more time to shop. Starting June 30, doors open at 9 a.m. exclusively for its upper-tier members.
The company also said its warehouses will remain open an extra hour on Saturdays for all members, closing at 7 p.m.
Costco also recently expanded its gas station hours for all members to 6 a.m. Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Saturdays and 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Sundays. The move led to record fuel sales, Fox Business reported.
