Warehouse club chain Costco is working to put a new store in the Kaufman County town of Forney, one of the fastest-growing cities in the country.
Forney’s city council this week authorized municipal officials “to negotiate and execute an agreement with Costco” for a space near the intersection of Highway 80 and FM 460/Clements Drive, said city spokesman Zach Smith in an email.. The company is also planning stores in Prosper, Celina and Weatherford. The company’s stores are typically about 160,000 square feet and include gas stations and food courts, among other amenities.
The proposed store is at a busy thoroughfare on Highway 80, a major east-west traffic artery the Texas Department of Transportation is expanding from two to three lanes in each direction between Sunnyvale and Forney, including new bridges over the east fork of the Trinity River. That stretch of highway had about 70,000 vehicles traveling by it daily in 2022,with a population of 20,000 or more between 2022 and 2023, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Forney’s residents increased by 10.
