(NEXSTAR) – While some may joke about not needing a year’s worth of mayonnaise or enough nacho cheese to fill a kiddie pool, warehouse club Costco has loyal members around the world – a following set to expand with the opening of new locations in August.
The new U.S. locations to open in August are in The Villages, Florida; Richland, Washington; Allen, Texas; and Spring Valley, Nevada.
Costco will also be opening locations in Rimouski, Quebec; North Guadalajara, Mexico; and East Newmarket, Ontario, Canada.
The expansion follows the June and July openings of stores in South Korea, Sweden and Midland, Texas.
Chief Financial Officer Gary Millerchip said in March that Costco’s goal is to open 25-30 new locations annually, split roughly between U.S. and international markets, according to USA Today.
Costco, which is based in Issaquah, Washington, opened its first warehouse in Seattle in 1983.
