Cypress Lands Its First Costco: What Residents Can Expect

Big news for northwest Houston: Cypress is officially getting its own Costco.

The retail giant has announced plans for a 160,000-square-foot store set to break ground in March 2026 with a projected opening by November of the same year. For one of Houston’s fastest-growing suburban communities, the arrival of Costco means more than just bulk shopping — it represents new jobs, greater convenience, and another sign of Cypress’s booming growth.

Why Cypress?

Cypress has been one of the region’s most dynamic growth corridors, with thousands of new homes, schools, and businesses opening in recent years. The area’s expanding population and family-oriented neighborhoods make it a natural fit for Costco, which has built a loyal following among Houstonians for its mix of grocery deals, household staples, and member-only perks.

When doors open in late 2026, residents can look forward to:

• Closer access to Costco without driving across town
• Hundreds of new jobs created during construction and store operations
• A boost in local convenience, from gas stations to pharmacy and optical services
• Another major retail anchor that will likely attract additional development nearby

For Cypress, this announcement signals more than just a new place to stock up on paper towels and wine — it’s about cementing the community as a self-contained hub, no longer reliant on surrounding areas for big-box retail.

Looking Ahead

With construction set to start in just over a year, residents can expect to see activity at the site soon. And if the store follows the model of other Houston-area Costcos, it will quickly become a go-to weekend destination for families and bulk shoppers alike.
