Costco Is Opening 9 New Warehouses in November Including a Different Kind of Store

Costco shoppers have more reasons to get excited this November, following a busy October of new openings. The warehouse giant is preparing to open nine locations across the United States and Canada, including a special type of store that many members may never have visited.

According to Costco's official list of upcoming locations, five openings are planned for the United States and four for Canada. The complete November lineup includes South Meridian, Idaho; Vallejo, California; Chandler, Arizona; Newport News, Virginia; and Franklin, Wisconsin. In Canada, Costco is adding locations in northeast Edmonton and Lloydminster, Alberta, as well as east Windsor and Wasaga Beach, Ontario.

But the Chandler location is particularly interesting. Unlike a traditional warehouse, it will be a Costco Business Center, designed primarily for restaurants, offices, convenience stores and other businesses.

Despite the name, you don't need to own a business to shop there. Anyone with a regular Costco membership can visit. What really sets these stores apart is what they sell.

According to Costco, approximately 70% of the merchandise at its Business Centers differs from what shoppers find at traditional warehouses. Instead of focusing on televisions, clothing, furniture and seasonal decorations, these locations emphasize restaurant supplies, commercial kitchen equipment, cleaning products, beverages, individually packaged snacks and food sold in larger quantities.

That makes them particularly useful for people stocking up for parties, large families or community events, even if they don't run a business.

The new Chandler Business Center is located at 1111 West Pecos Road and is scheduled to open November 7, according to Costco's warehouse page .

Meanwhile, the new Vallejo warehouse is scheduled to open November 6 at 860 Admiral Callaghan Lane. Costco says it will include a pharmacy, optical department, hearing aid center, tire service center and gas station.

The retailer is also advertising a limited-time membership promotion for qualifying new members joining ahead of the Vallejo opening, with digital Costco Shop Cards.

With nine new locations planned for November, Costco's expansion is continuing just as shoppers prepare for the holiday season.
