We've done it many times for years....It doesn't help.

Too bad, I'm sure it would do better than the one in Kona.

Costco prices it's goods just enough above costs to pay operating expenses. Some items it actually sells below cost. Their business strategy is to make their profit selling memberships. There is little motivation for them to build a Costco on this side of the island if we're willing to pay memberships to drive to the other side.
Maybe if they find out Sam's Club is looking to build on this side they would change their mind.

If anybody is interested there is an online petition: https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/when-will-hilo-get-a-costco

Maybe we should be petitioning for a Sams, and stop wasting time with Costco.

Does anybody know if the Kona costco sells the frozen Gyro meat?

Do they they really check membership at the food court? That means I can't go there anymore.

You can buy a membership or tag along with someone that has one.

Thanks. I'm tagging along with the guy in front of me.

You could form a “membership conga line”!

Years ago I ordered a pallet of stuff from Kona Costco. They delivered to Puna once a week on a flatbed truck. Anyone know if that’s a service they still provide? Minimum order? Delivery fee?
