I don't know if Costco does it for a store opening but we joined Costco after receiving a really good offer to join and received the top membership. We had no interest in Costco and had a Sam's Club membership at the time.
We have renewed it once but really are not addicted like most. We like some of the products and prices at Sam's much better but then Costco does have some items we'll pick up on sale. We, to this day, don't understand all the hoopla about Costco. Unless they're 1 mile away the drive is a pain, buying frozen food and schlepping it 30 minutes to get home, lines at the gas pumps make little savings when one sits in an idling car 10-15 minutes and the crowds make it iffy for us. Renewal again is questionable for us.
Each to their own.
