A new Treasure Coast Costco store is on the horizon.
City officials were told July 13 that the grocery retailer could open its long-awaited Port St. Lucie location in 2027, after the city council unanimously approved selling 22.8 acres to Costco Wholesale for $6 million in March.
The Treasure Coast’s first and only Costco warehouse came to the area not long ago.
Stuart became the first city across Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties to welcome a Costco store in April of 2025. A massive crowd of customers arrived at the new store’s opening bright and early, following a years-long wait.
Here’s what’s in store for Port St. Lucie.
When is Costco opening in Port St. Lucie?
Port St. Lucie’s long-awaited Costco store could open in 2027, city officials were told July 13.
Costco still needs to close on purchase of the property, at the southeast corner of Village and Marshall parkways. Land clearing and other work could take 10-12 months to complete, Brad Wester, a planner representing Costco, told the City Council July 13.
The council March 9 unanimously approved selling 22.8 acres in its Southern Grove industrial area to Costco Wholesale for $6 million. The retail store would be across the street from where Costco recently opened the first phase of a 1.8-million square-foot distribution depot.
The Treasure Coast got its first Costco warehouse last April
About 1,000 people filed into the Treasure Coast’s first Costco Wholesale opening early morning April 25, 2025, at 3173 S. Kanner Hwy in Stuart.
The long-awaited store brought shoppers to the line as early 5:15 a.m. A massive crowd stood waiting at the front of the store before the doors opened, but the line snaked around past the tire center and even further, into the parking lot, before opening.
