There are plenty of big box stores and supermarkets. What’s the big deal?

There will be more time and fuel money wasted with people lined up at Costco, than saved by shopping there.

Good but not THAT good

I’ll try Costco since it’s a golf cart ride away from me. But standing in a long line may be a deal breaker for me. I love Scan & Go!

Fueled up this morning at Costco. My question are Executive Members allowed to enter early prior to Star members on August 6? NO
Employees said that was question from many Executive members, stopping by.

So for Executive Members early shopping doesn’t start until August 7. No perks for long standing members with Executive Membership on opening day.

Leaving for Disney the 5th will stop at Costco in Clearmont. By the time we need anything we will take advantage of early entry at TV Costco, in a few weeks.

Facebook already has people posting they plan on being in Costco line at 4am. That concept I have never understood.

Costco is very good about moving people through lines. As long as I've shopped there, check out has never really been much of an issue. When it's really busy, they have staff with handheld scanners checking people out who are standing in line.

The customer service desk (for returns) can sometimes be a wait though.

Good to know. I cannot wait to buy a mountain of toilet paper but how will it all fit in my golf cart?

We have a Sam' Club, B J's and Costco so now all left for people to whine about is not having a Trader Joe's!!

Or an Ikea.

Funny part is the many who are questioning the need or want for Costco, won’t have to worry about finding a parking space.
Parking will be at a premium for many years to come. Nearby Restaurants will be extremely happy with increasing foot traffic, for all those who want a bite to eat.

Won’t hurt Walmart because it’s a different clientele.
Fresh Market may loose some loyal customers due to chicken and beef prices will be less at Costco.

Does the gas station have diesel?

They are going to need traffic control because I foresee several accidents right away.

Not so sure that nearby restaurants will be happy about Costco. People will park in their lots. Still question the location but Costco knows its business better than we do.
