Getting to the location of the new Costco is pretty quick and easy for me today. I'll have to see what traffic is like once it opens and decide if I would use even a trial membership.
I have never known Costco to offer trial membership, like BJs and Sam’s almost has to. Costco no so much

Sadly we would never make that list.. up north we would drive an hour to the base for protein, the stop at Costco, Sam’s, TJs on the return. Mind you we could have stopped at 5 other Costcos.

True Costco shoppers will tell you every store has different stuff and it’s worth the drive
