Costco is accelerating its brick‑and‑mortar expansion with seven new stores planned for August 2026, part of a long‑term strategy to open 30+ locations annually. With 928 warehouses and 82.9 million paid members, each new warehouse deepens Costco’s recurring‑fee moat against e‑commerce rivals and regional competitors. The move signals confidence in physical retail and pressures the broader grocery and mass‑merchandise landscape.
