The town of Prosper is preparing for a major milestone. Costco Wholesale will open its first store at 5620 W. University Drive in March 2025. This 160,000-square-foot facility will feature a fuel station and a wide range of products. From groceries to electronics, residents will gain access to top-quality items.

Historical Evolution of the Site
Historically, the intersection of FM 1385 and US 380 in Prosper remained largely undeveloped. Aerial images from 1938 show a completely undeveloped area. Even as recently as 2001, the location remained untouched, surrounded by farmland.
As the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex expanded northward, Prosper experienced significant growth, transforming from a quiet rural community into a bustling suburb. This development paved the way for major retailers to establish a presence in the area. The introduction of Costco marks a pivotal moment in Prosper’s evolution, transitioning from open fields to a hub of commercial activity.
Economic Impact and Community Reception
The arrival of Costco is anticipated to bring substantial economic benefits to Prosper. The store is expected to create numerous job opportunities and generate increased sales and property tax revenues. These funds will support the town’s infrastructure and contribute to maintaining the high standards of the local school district.
The opening of Costco in Prosper signifies a transformative chapter in the town’s history. From its rural beginnings, the area at FM 1385 and US 380 has evolved into a focal point of commercial growth, reflecting the broader development trends of the region.
