Exciting news for Sacramento shoppers: a brand-new Costco is set to open its doors, but here’s where it gets interesting—this isn’t just any Costco. It’s the 12th location in the Sacramento area and the second in Roseville, marking a significant expansion for the retail giant. So, when and where can you start stocking up on bulk essentials? Let’s dive in.
Costco, the membership-only warehouse club known for its unbeatable deals, is bringing its latest location to 5200 Baseline Road in Roseville. Scheduled to open on Friday, January 23, this new store is part of the Baseline Marketplace, a sprawling 77.15-acre shopping center at the intersection of Baseline Road and Fiddyment Road. But this isn’t just a warehouse—it’s a one-stop shop. The 160,529-square-foot facility will include a gas station, car wash, and tire service center, making it a convenient hub for all your needs.
But here’s where it gets controversial: With Costco’s aggressive expansion, some locals are questioning whether the area can support so many big-box stores. Is this a boon for shoppers or a potential strain on local businesses? We’ll explore that later, but first, let’s talk about what makes Costco a retail powerhouse.
Founded in 1976 in San Diego, Costco has grown into an international phenomenon with hundreds of locations worldwide. Its operating philosophy is simple yet effective: keep costs low and pass the savings on to members. With a massive membership base and unparalleled buying power, Costco offers everything from bulk produce and electronics to household essentials at prices that are hard to beat. And this is the part most people miss: Costco’s efficiency isn’t just about scale—it’s about a relentless focus on streamlining operations to maximize value for its members.
The Roseville location’s journey began in the summer of 2024 when Costco purchased the property for $6.88 million. Now, it’s nearly ready to welcome shoppers, joining 11 other Costco locations in the Sacramento area, including a dedicated Business Center. Here’s where you can find them:
