He can't say when, but it's coming. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I've also read on Facebook that someone else had heard the same thing. By the way, he replaced the 2 bottles for free. That's customer service!

This has been a rumor for seven years. We do not fit the Costco marketing scheme or their level of sales volume in order to support a store. We are made up of two person families and they want large families who purchase a lot more volume than TV would do. In the Summer months it would be even less. The only way Costco ever gets to TV is if they go to the small satellite store concept or one is built in Ocala.
