Local residents react to new Midland Costco location

MIDLAND, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) - The City of Midland announced Friday that a new Costco would be coming to the 'Tall City.' Construction is expected to begin next June and conclude by August 2026. Local residents reacted positively to the news.

"I've been to Costco in Houston when I lived there," Tommie Haislip said. "Lots of people from here go to Lubbock just to go to Costco, so I think it's good to have a place like that that's convenient and another option for shopping."

"I'm very excited," Evelynn Valles said. "I feel like they have more of a variety than Sam's."

"I'm very dedicated to a Costco membership," said Rikki Lake. "I've never been able to actually have one because I've never resided in a city where it's been available."

The new store is expected to open between Highway 191 and a new section of Sinclair Avenue.
