The Largest Costco In Texas Is Now Under Construction and It’s Massive
A massive new Costco location in Midland will be its largest store in the Lone Star State. And Costco officially broke ground on construction of the giant store earlier this week.
There are currently 38 Costco locations in Texas, but once you get west of I-35 those Costco locations become pretty scarce. The closest Costco to Midland right now is the Lubbock location which is about 117 miles north of Midland. The next closest locations would either be El Paso or Fort Worth and both of those are pretty long trips.
