Costco lines up 3 new stores opening in Dallas-Fort Worth in 2025

Cult favorite grocery warehouse Costco is gifting Dallas-Fort Worth with three new stores, two of which will open in mid-March.

Prosper will open at 5620 W. University Dr., near a School of Rock that's under construction and FM 1385.
Weatherford will open at 310 Center Point Rd., at the northwest corner of I-20 and Center Point Road.

The Prosper store has been in the works for nearly two years, and broke ground in March 2024.

In a statement, Prosper Economic Development President Jordan Simms said that the city welcomed the additional sales tax and property tax revenue the store would bring to Prosper.

The Weatherford location began construction in summer 2024 and is the first of its kind in Parker County. The 160,000-square-foot store will offer gas, tires, dining, optical & hearing centers, and prescriptions.

The two stores are part of a wave of openings that Costco is planning for the spring, with a goal to open 29 new locations by August.

Costco has become a cult favorite with its walk-in refrigerated section, free food and drink samples, discounted bulk groceries, flat screen TVs, gas, and prescriptions — not unlike its rival Sam's Club, but a little fancier.

The store brand is based in Issaquah Washington with 800 locations across the world and 13 stores across Dallas-Fort Worth, including Plano, McKinney, Southlake, and Fort Worth with stores averaging 160,000 square feet.

The last Costco that opened in DFW was in McKinney at 3650 W. University Dr. in 2018.

Celina

Additionally, Costco also has plans for a Celina location that is scheduled to open by December 2025.

The Celina Costco is under construction and will be attached to a mixed-use development project from Shop Companies called The Crossing at Moore Farm, a 105 acre development at the corner of Ownsby and Preston Road.

The grocery warehouse has a policy of not speaking on future locations before they’re complete, and a representative for the company said they have no further details to share about what factors played into expanding into these cities.

McDonald's closes 2 CosMc's beverage spinoffs in Dallas-Fort Worth

After less than a year, McDonald's is cutting back on its CosMc's beverage spinoff, and that includes shutting down locations in Dallas-Fort Worth.

McDonald's introduced the beverage led concept in December 2023, when it opened the first location in Bolingbrook, Illinois. The concept — which seemed to be competing with Swig, the drive-through drink chain from Utah — features coffee, lemonade, slushies, and energy drinks, plus bites such as the Egg McMuffin, hashbrowns, and McPops — like doughnut holes.

They went on to open six more locations, all in Texas: two in San Antonio and four in DFW. Both San Antonio locations still show up on the website as open but two have closed in DFW so far, as follows:

Watauga at 7304 Denton Hwy.
Arlington at Abram's Alley, 300 E. Abram St. #150

Their website currently shows the Dallas location at Campbell Road, which was the original location, as still open, as well as a location in Fort Worth on McPherson Boulevard.

Despite the closures, McDonald's still plans to continue the test in the US for the foreseeable future, a spokesperson says, including opening two new smaller format stores in Texas in 2025.

That includes a location in Allen at 861 W. Stacy Rd.

The plan is to close three of the larger locations that were remodeled into CosMc’s locations — meaning that one of the locations currently still open is due to close.

"Since opening CosMc’s, we have had the benefit of testing out different location sizes and setups – from revamping larger restaurant spaces to building smaller prototype locations that focus more on the drive-thru and digital experience," their statement says. "We learned that the smaller format stores allow us to test new, unique circumstances that are reflective of our customer base. As a result, we will open two new smaller format stores in Texas in 2025, and close three of the larger locations that were remodeled into CosMc’s locations."
