ISSAQUAH, WA - The past year has brought on an expansion frenzy for retail giant Costco. In October of 2018, the company received approval from the city of Issaquah, Washington, to make a significant expansion to its headquarters. Costco has been quiet on the matter since then, but recent reports note that the retailer is moving forward with its plans as additional land was recently acquired. This is followed by multiple new store openings, including the recently-announced Naperville, Illanois, location.

The news source Issaquah Reporter, divulged that Costco has officially purchased property from a nearby cinema in order to complete its planned 1.5 million-square-foot expansion. Although Costco officials have not yet commented, this sudden news suggests that the headquarters expansion is heating up.

In addition to this news, Costco will be opening its second store in the Illinois town of Naperville. The company has officially purchased space in order to build a new 159,000-square-foot warehouse club facility and a gas station, according to a press release.
