Costco to Open first Standalone Gas Station in California
Costco is set to introduce its first standalone gas station in California, exclusively for its members. The Mission Viejo location, approved by city officials, will feature 40 fuel pumps but no convenience store.
Located at 25732 El Paseo,within the Mission Viejo Freeway Center near Interstate 5,the new gas station will replace a former Bed,Bath and Beyond store. The move comes as California gas prices remain elevated, with averages around $4.61 per gallon, though some stations offer prices as low as $3.03, according to GasBuddy.
Costco’s nearby Laguna Nigel warehouse currently sells regular unleaded gas for $4.35 a gallon, according to its app. The new Mission Viejo location is just 2.5 miles away.
Earlier this year, Costco extended gas station hours, a move that CEO Ron Vachris said contributed to “two of our all-time highest gallon weeks” in the U.S.during April.Vachris attributed the surge to expanded hours, new station openings, and competitive pricing.
Costco’s gas stations typically operate from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.on Saturday, and 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, though hours may vary in California and Hawaii.
The company has not yet released an opening date for the Mission Viejo gas station.
