Costco tests the waters with a stand-alone gas station for members
Briefly

Costco is set to build a 40-bay gas station in Mission Viejo, California. This independent station aims to capitalize on the company’s successful gas sales, which accounted for a significant portion of its revenue last year. Located two miles from the nearest warehouses, it follows the strategic extension of operating hours at existing locations that resulted in increased sales. The new station will likely see substantial traffic, with projections of up to 9,500 vehicles daily and multiple fuel deliveries. The opening is slated for spring 2026, transforming the site of a former retail store into a busy fuel center.
