Historical Evolution of the Site

In 1944, the area where Costco now stands was predominantly undeveloped land with a few scattered structures. At that time, Tomball Parkway was known as Farm to Market Road 149. By 1983, two commercial buildings occupied the southwest corner of the lot, serving various purposes over the years, including as a furniture store and a cabinet store. The transformation from a sparsely populated to a bustling commercial hub underscores Tomball’s significant growth and development over the decades.
