Costco is opening its first standalone gas station, located in Mission Viejo, California, that will not be attached to one of its warehouse stores. The new gas station will have 40 fueling pumps and be open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., exclusively for Costco members. Costco is also planning to open another standalone gas station in Hawaii in 2027.
Why it matters
Costco's gas stations are known for offering fuel at significantly lower prices than competitors, often 10-30 cents per gallon less. The new standalone location will provide Costco members access to these discounted gas prices without having to visit a full Costco warehouse store, which could be more convenient for some customers.
The details
The first standalone Costco gas station will replace an old Bed, Bath & Beyond location in Mission Viejo, California. It will have 20 fueling dispensers with two pump stations each, totaling 40 available pumps. The gas station will be open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, and only Costco members will be able to purchase gas at this location.
- The new standalone Costco gas station is expected to open in June 2026.
- Costco is also planning to open another standalone gas station in Hawaii sometime in 2027.
