Costco will roll out its first stand-alone gas station this summer in Mission Viejo, California, marking a major expansion of its gas operations, and a second location in Hawaii is expected to open next year.
The California location, about 50 miles from Los Angeles, is expected to open in late June, according to local outlet KABC, citing city officials. It will be the largest gas station, containing 40 pumps.
The second location is at a project in Honolulu, Hawaii, in the Kapālama Kai community, according to C-store Dive, citing a spokesperson for the independent education system Kamehameha Schools, which owns the project.
The move marks a major move for the discount giant, which has gas stations in existing locations plagued by long wait times, traffic jams and crowded parking lots.

Costco’s Mission Viejo site at 25732 El Paseo will occupy the former Bed Bath & Beyond, which city officials approved for demolition last year to make way for the project. It will be next door to Krispy Kreme, Dairy Queen Chill & Grill and Jack in the Box.
The project will have 20 fuel dispensers, equivalent to 40 pumping stations, according to the city’s 2025 planning documents.
Measuring 17,234 square feet, the “blowing canopy” will also house an office and a staff lounge, the documents said.
The new gas station will be open daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. exclusively for Costco members, C-store Dive reports.
