A Costco on the eastern side of the Dallas region might be getting started early next year.
Construction on the club warehouse in Forney could begin in February and wrap up in June 2026, according to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing & Registration.
The $18.6 million project would cover 161,000 square feet and will be at 150 FM460, according to the recent filing. Earlier this year, Forney’s City Council authorized city officials “to negotiate and execute an agreement with Costco” for a space, according to a report in The Dallas Morning News.
“The City of Forney is excited to welcome Costco to our community. A wholesale grocer has been one of the top requests from residents, and we’re thrilled to welcome this outstanding partner to Forney,” city spokesman Zach Smith said.
TDLR filings are preliminary and subject to change. Costco didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Costco has more than a dozen Dallas-Fort Worth locations, and the new store in Forney would be the furthest east in the region. Nationally, the chain is a major player in the retail sector with net sales of roughly $250 billion in its recent fiscal year. It operates over 890 warehouses, including 614 in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
For Forney, it’s another sign of the attention it’s getting from retailers. Last month, the council considered a plan for a similar retail chain, BJ’s Wholesale Club, according to a city filing. In September, the city welcomed a new Tom Thumb grocery store. And last month it learned a new H-E-B is scheduled to open in early 2026.
Forney is one of the 10 fastest-growing cities in the country with population of 20,000 or more in 2022-23, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Forney’s populations rose 10.5% in the year to reach 35,470 within the city limits, and unincorporated areas just outside Forney nearly double the local population.
