My wife and I just set up our Kirkland folding chairs (purchased at Costco Clermont) and are number 1 and 2 in line, ready for the big grand opening tomorrow. We have Costco snacks, Kirkland water, and everything we need to keep us comfortable through the night. Come join us. Rumor has it the first ten customers through the doors get a free hot dog, not sure if it includes the drink. :pepper2:

If this is a legit post, please follow up tomorrow afternoon with what, if any, perks you received for being #'s 1 and 2. Curious.
We were within first dozen of a Buc-ee's grand opening once and received free t-shirts.

We were 8th and 9th in line when the doors opened just a few minutes ago. We both got upgraded air in our tires if we buy a new set next week. We also got a secret route map to Costco from any direction. It's too early for the hot dog so we decided to just get the free sample of dog food, very yummy, the free book on affordable cremations, and the crackers with faux lobster.

What a night and what a day! It was hot, we got wet, but it was worth every minute of it! The people in line with us were great, except for numbers 3 and 4 who unfortunately sat next to us all night. Numbers 5 and 6 ended up leaving early because of them. We each got a beautiful gold plated charm for being #1 and #2 (see picture). We hardly slept, but just bought a two pack of Sealy pillows that were on sale for $23.99 to replace our current 18 year old pillows, so tonight will be better. We stocked up on all the essentials, including the 30 roll pack Kirkland Signature Bath Tissues ($24.99). We got to taste most of the samples (didn’t see the dog food) and bought two rotisserie chickens ($4.99 each, one for tonight, one for Saturday). When we left the store with our purchases, we realized we did not have enough room in our golf cart for all we purchased. We ended up giving away 28 rolls of toilet paper to 28 total strangers, and kept two for ourselves. My wife went back in the store and is waiting for me to get home, empty the cart, and go back and pick her up. We were too late for the secret map out of Costco, apparently they only gave those out to the first 100 customers leaving the store. I am currently number 17 waiting to make a right turn out of the parking lot. I will keep you posted.

Good question, shows you are paying attention. The reason we had to get rid of the toilet paper is a follows... When we realized we didn't have room for everything, we decided to buy a set of four Firestone tires. We really didn't need the tires, our brand new car has less than 6,000 miles on it, but they had a $60.00 rebate so we decided what the heck! If you see someone driving a white golf cart with four Firestone tires strapped to the back, that's me. Stop me if you see us, we just bought a tray of 60 Kirkland Signature Cookies ($26.09) and will be happy to share some with you; it will take us a year to go through them but the price was right! By the way, I am still trying to get back to pick her up. Even the multi modal paths leading to Costco are backed up! There is a twenty minute wait for hotdogs and over an hour for pizza. According to my wife, it is almost impossible to get a free sample/tasting of anything. Several of the employees working the sample carts have already quit. I will keep you posted, have a nice day.

I don't get it, are people that much in a fog? First off I have BJs and Costco memberships. I will readily admit the local BJs is among the worst in the chain. It's poorly managed and too small. So time to lump the travel to Clermont or something larger. Secondly Costco "home brand" products are as flat in taste as Publix, Bjs WF brand has far better quality and flavor.
With that said, I've been doing some local price compares.... 1) my BJs membership is less for more 2) identical products compare to be less at BJs than Costco.
Probably the only other point is only TV based, these houses are pretty small and have little storage for massive bulk buys. Lord knows we have had to get pretty creative just for basics that would be in the 'have to' list. So if you want to get in line at 4am to wait for a hot dog .......

Disagree entirely. Have some favorites that cannot be found other than Costco. Seriously, where else can you get Kim Crawford quality blanc for $6.99/bottle. Don't start me on the quality of their steaks. Or their gasoline. Or their paper products.
You're telling me that BJs has an in-house bakery? What about an in-house butcher? In-house optical? In-house pharmacy? In-house pizzeria? In-house tire shop? In-house gas station? Yeah- apples to apples there.
But my takeaway from your missive is that now there is one less person to be in my way when I go. So, thank you. You keep on keeping on, someone's gotta provide the competition that keeps Costco honest.

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.

We went at 2 with the agreement that if we couldn’t find parking right away we’d leave, but even though cars were circling the lot there was a steady stream of cars backing out too, so we had no trouble parking. We got in there in the nick of time because a thunderstorm hit that we could hear rumbling from inside for quite awhile. It was crowded but bearable for the little bit of shopping we wanted to do (our usual Costco haul). We saw plenty of employees everywhere, and when we were ready to check out about 4 we walked up to a register with only one person in front of us. There was also plenty of stock of everything, even at the food court. Even though the line outside to get a membership was very long (all under tents) it appeared to be moving quickly, and when we left the store there was hardly any line at all. We were honestly very impressed overall considering we’ve never gone to any kind of store on grand opening day before. It was a very well oiled machine. Kudos to Costco!

Picked up chicken and ribs for dinner. Plus a pair of Hoka’s, and some miscellaneous items. Self checkout. Two frozen Mocha’s. Out the door under 55 minutes. Just as the swam of star members could enter.

Forest GumpOP, you forgot to buy a golf shirt in every color. Wear each 3 or 4 times. As you know, Costco has the best returns policy. Insist you get your money back! Buy the newest stock of golf shirts, rinse and repeat.
It was extremely difficult transporting 4 new tires and boxes of over-sized groceries in a golf cart while eating a free hot dog. Prreventing the free coke, which was actually a Mt Dew, from spilling was most challenging. Let's not forget the neighbors who drove by and demanded some of your cookies, while the wife stood back and did absolutely nothing. Half way home, there was a torrential storm. Nearly overturned your cart when it was struck by lightening. Thank heavens! The metal cart and rubber on the tires you were hauling saved your life. However, the rotisserie chickens flew out of the cart. (There goes dinner!) When you finally got home, you had no toilet paper to clean yourself. The two new rolls you kept for yourself were soaked. Yet, you remained calm. It was a great decision to open the package and give rolls to strangers in order to load the tires. Afterall, the toilet paper would not have saved your life. You returned to Costco to retrieve your wife. She was upset. "What the bleep took you so long?" I think Costco would agree. You deserve free shirts for life.

My wife and I just set up our Kirkland folding chairs (purchased at Costco Clermont) and are number 1 and 2 in line, ready for the big grand opening tomorrow. We have Costco snacks, Kirkland water, and everything we need to keep us comfortable through the night. Come join us. Rumor has it the first ten customers through the doors get a free hot dog, not sure if it includes the drink. :pepper2:
Where is " The Old Costco " ???

Between Costco and its predecessor Price Club, I've been a customer for nearly 40 years, and being a part-timer here was happy to see the new one arrive. I went for the first time today (just got back) and my wife and I noticed how slowly people are walking through the aisles, and bunching up. There was just a moment of irritation and then we had to think back decades to our first visits, how we had to look at every available. :-) Being long-time veterans, we know what we want, where it is, and we get-in and get-out. :-) I hope people in general are enjoying the new Costco.

I will be checking it out soon. Still have to get the membership card even though I bought a membership about a month ago. My computer died and my tablet would not take the Costco app and I only have a cheap throw away phone. It does not do apps.

It’s a shame that they don’t have Group 24 auto batteries in stock, considering that’s what the gas Yamahas take.

They had a few when they first opened. Must have underestimated the demand, but they’ll figure it out and adjust.

Been gone for the month of August, but I see Costco has opened and yet the Villages does not appear to have become a Mad Max wasteland due to all the horrendous traffic that was repeatedly predicted by some. Guess we missed that bullet.
