So, I actually went to the new store on opening day yesterday. I waited until about 5 pm, but it was still a zoo. There were about 40 people in line waiting to sign up for memberships. The membership sign up area had been open for at least a week, but nooo, they waited until opening day.
There were quite a lot of people who had never seemed to have been in a Costco, including the workers. Lots of traffic jams, including the worker with a huge garbage bin, who parked it next to the food court, blocking half the lane for the exit while he was talking to another worker who was moving a handicapped cart and blocking the other half of the exit lane.
They did have some sales that are for a limited time only, including Wagyu ribeye for about $60/pound. They also had a ton of Switch 2's near the front.
Parking was OK. I found a spot easily. But if yesterday was any indication, Costco could build another location a mile away and they both would be crazy busy.
