A Dallas Area Suburb Is About to Get Its First Costco

Costcoโ€™s new location at Stacy Road and SH-121 in Allen, Texas, is still taking shape. Satellite imagery from March 2025 shows the massive foundation poured and the surrounding lot partially gradedโ€”but at that point, no walls or roof had been erected.

That was three months ago. Based on Costcoโ€™s typical build pace, the steel frame and exterior shell may now be up, though no current imagery or announcements confirm it. The store does not yet appear on Costcoโ€™s official New Locations page. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation continues to list June 30, 2025, as the estimated completion date.

From Pastures to Pallets

In 2001, this corner of Collin County was still ruralโ€”open farmland, scattered trees, and a modest structure near a dirt access road. Fast-forward two decades, and itโ€™s now on the brink of becoming a regional retail hub. The land that once grew crops will soon offer carts, concrete, and Costco carts lined up at the pumps.

The future Costco site in 2001 was wide-open farmland, with only a rural home and dirt roads occupying the area.

The silence of tractors has been replaced by the hum of forkliftsโ€”and eventually, flat-screen TVs on flatbed carts.

By March 2025, the same site is under heavy constructionโ€”foundation poured and the lot reshaped to fit a 160,000 sq ft Costco warehouse and gas station.

What the Site Plan Confirms

A development plan outlines the full build:

  • 160,529 sq ft Costco warehouse
  • Fuel station along the southern boundary
  • A future retail outlot labeled โ€œOutlot 1โ€
  • Entrances from both Stacy Road and Meandering Way
  • A dedicated truck route with a rear loading dock screened from nearby homes

Construction may have started slow, but Allenโ€™s first Costco is well on its way. Now itโ€™s just a matter of when the doorsโ€”and those iconic garage-style entrancesโ€”will finally open.
