The one-of-a-kind fueling station replaced a former Bed Bath & Beyond. Coincidentally, that brand is seeing a bit of a rebirth in California as it opens a few locations within The Container Store.

Costco opted to open a gas station only in a shopping center that hugs the 5 freeway at Oso Parkway.

Coincidentally, Costco has three warehouse stores in the vicinity (with gas stations): two are just 2-3 miles away in Laguna Niguel (Cabot Road and Heather Ridge), another is about 9 miles away in San Juan Capistrano (Doheny Park Road).

So, while Costco warehouses are bountiful for south Orange County shoppers, they now have a new stop for gas, which has been a hot topic since the war with Iran sent prices upward.

The station in Mission Viejo features 40 pumps under a 17,234-square-foot fueling canopy. It’s open daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Prices for regular unleaded gasoline on Thursday at the Costco station were $4.79 a gallon, according to the GasBuddy app.
