A new Costco Wholesale store is now open in Allen.

The store located just south of McKinney offers its members grocery, household and pharmacy products, according to its website. The Allen store also features a gas station, a food court, a tire service center, an optical center and hearing aid services.

The store is one of three new Costco locations in North Texas. A location in Prosper opened in March, and another Costco store is expected to open in Celina later this year.

The specifics

The Allen store is located on a roughly 22.5-acre site, city documents state. The store spans 160,000 square feet and is estimated to cost $25 million, according to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, or TDLR.


Allen City Council members unanimously approved a specific use permit to allow the Costco to feature a fueling station with up to 32 fueling locations at a July 2024 meeting. Another TDLR filing notes that the fueling station will span over 11,500 square feet and cost $5 million.

What they’re saying

At a ribbon-cutting held Aug. 15, Allen Economic Development Corporation President and CEO Dan Bowman said the Costco site was property acquired by the corporation through two transactions in the last eight years, and a number of uses were considered for the land.

“We probably had a dozen different potential plans for this, but we knew, when Costco ... called us and said they're looking for a store in this vicinity, that this was the perfect use,” Bowman said. “We're so excited to have Costco in our community.”


Allen Mayor Baine Brooks said the new store will support the community through jobs, sales tax revenue and shopping convenience.

“We're not just cutting a ribbon for Costco, we're opening another door to a stronger, healthier and more connected community,” Brooks said.
