Costco is opening the biggest store in the world! This store is one of the most popular in the United States and there are many reasons for this title. They are always launching new stuff and innovations to improve their customers’ experience. Why is Costco on the news again? They are going big! They are putting their faith in a trade openness in 2025, this will be a huge event for the lucky people of the city of Fresno, California.

Costco stores were already big, so can you imagine the dimensions of the new construction in California? I mean, it will be considered the biggest store of the Costco chain and there are so many of them. Let’s see what this huge store will offer and what’s the reason behind this construction.

Costco retail store

This is one of the biggest and most popular wholesale stores in the world. They basically owe their reputation to wholesale and their low prices, which is very helpful for many families. However, you need to know that if you want to buy here, you need to pay for an annual membership. Many people do it, so this shows how affordable this might be.

They have a huge range of products, ranging from clothes, books and devices to furniture and medicine. The fact that you can find anything you can imagine at low prices, is a good reason why Costco members are loyal to them.

If they are so popular and they are successful, why are they opening their biggest store so far?

Go big or go home

You might be thinking if it’s necessary to have a new Costco store and not a regular one, but the biggest in their history. Well, maybe it is not necessary, but it is a great marketing strategy to compete with all the other retail and wholesale stores.

This huge new store is located in Fresno, California, and it is around 785,000 square feet. The remarkable thing about this new store is that it won’t only sell more products than other Costco stores, but it will also offer special services.

What are those special services?

Customers will feel they are very welcomed and listened to when they go shopping thanks to the inclusion of exclusive and modern services. Let’s see some example we will find in the Fresno store:

  • It includes 32 gasoline pumps, which means more capacity for cars to refuel at the same time.
  • Automatic vehicle washing machine, making customers’ experience more complete. Imagine you are waiting for someone to finish shopping, you can spend time washing your car.
  • Food delivery is very common in almost every food place. This is a favorite service for many people and now Costco will offer this service too.

Costco’s success

They are not just lucky people, there are many reasons for their good reputation. The first reason is the quality-price relation is formidable because for a huge variety of good quality products you are paying a low price. Then, the company invests a lot in making the shopping experience different and comfortable for customers, by focusing on order, size and cleanliness of the stores. Last, but not least, they don’t lose their traditional essence even though they keep adapting to modern times.

So, we can say that the new Costco’s biggest store in its history, could be taken as a great example of how companies should listen to their clients and evolve according to their values and origins. It’s nice to see somewhere you have been going for so long, keeping the same old vibe with a modern touch.
