Suggest a New Costco Location

Do you wish that there was a Costco store near you or someone that you love? Although they may not be opening a lot of new locations in 2021, Costco is always thinking ahead to potential new stores. And they’re always open to suggestions about where to open those stores.

If you want to suggest a new Costco location, there are three ways you can do so:

• Download the Costco app. On iPhones, select “more” from the app, then select “app feedback.” From there, you can suggest a new store, providing the zip code of the desired location if at all possible. On Android devices, go to the main menu to find the “feedback” option.
• If you don’t want to download the app, then you can still suggest a new Costco location from your phone. Go to the Costco website on your phone’s browser. Scroll to the bottom of the home page. Then select “feedback” and ask for your desired store location.
• Of course, you can also give feedback on the main website from your laptop or desktop computer. Go to the store’s home page. Look on the right side of the screen. You should see a blue tab for “feedback.” Let them know where you’d like to see them open a new Costco store.
