First time ever waiting in line for a Costco Grand Opening, and honestly... it was an experience! We met some really nice people in line, including the folks who were first in line and had been there since 4 AM! Now THAT is Costco dedication!
We were hoping to score some of the allocated bourbon and maybe some of the special grand-opening merchandise. The bourbon selection wasn't quite what we were hoping for, but we still walked away with some pretty great finds!
Our haul included the Espirit sweatshirts, Costco trucker hats, Collectivo coffee, 6 bottles of decent bourbon, QC and Skechers sneakers--so I'd say we did pretty darn well!
The Costco employee cheer squad greeted us with big smiles, and there were lots of samples waiting inside. Costco definitely knows how to welcome a crowd!
And apparently we should have dressed up a little more because... we made it into the Journal Sentinel!
Overall, a super fun morning, some great people, plenty of samples, and a successful Costco adventure. Would I wait in line for another grand opening? Absolutely! read more
