Story summary
  • Costco Wholesale Corporation plans to open its first gas station in Mission Viejo, California, in June 2026, a 40-pump facility.
  • Analysts view the project as a test to drive visits from non-warehouse shoppers and boost membership growth, which has slowed.
  • A second gas station is under construction in Honolulu, Hawaii, with completion in 2027.
  • Gas sales are low-margin but crucial for Costco's value proposition amid rising fuel prices.
