Default New Costco, Come on Down!

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.

Good luck with the weather and such.

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.

It wouldn't surprise me if people camped out over night like they do when Apple's new iPhone is available.

We had late lunch at Tap. There are more than a few milling around the entrance of Costco.

I pray I never get to the point in life where I get that excited for a store to open. Actually, I can't think of anything I would wait outside all night for. We have a life.
