Costco coming to Midland

Costco, which operates a chain of membership-only big-box warehouse club retail stores, is coming to Midland.

The Midland Development Corporation unanimously approved a performance agreement Monday and it was going to the Midland City Council Tuesday morning.

MDC Executive Director Sara Harris said construction is expected to start in June of 2025 and be completed in August 2026. It will be built in West Midland north of State Highway 191 and west of State Highway 158.

The minimum cap on capital investment is $50 million, Harris said.

The building will be 174,000 square feet minimum and the business will have 100 full-time equivalent jobs.

“We’re excited to welcome them here,” Harris said.
