I emailed Costco and asked them about their plans to open a Costco on the Hilo side. This was their response:
Dear Terracore,
We appreciate you taking the time to email Costco Wholesale.
While currently we do not have any public information regarding plans to open a Costco in your area, our real estate department is continually looking for ideas for new locations around the country and around the world.
We will forward your suggestion to our Real Estate Department so they are aware of your interest.
Thank you,

I figure it wouldn't hurt if more people contacted them and thusly more suggestions were forwarded to the Real Estate Department. The link to email them is on their web site at Costco.com. Its a little buried and the link is currently https://ems02071lb.egain.net/system/web/...alPage.jsp but knowing how commercial web sites work the above link is probably not permanent and I have no way of knowing when you are going to read this. So if it doesn't work go to Costco.com and look for the link. Once there you have to click the "Warehouse, Business Centers or Membership" link which is currently on the left side of the page (this is required because if I linked the page that click generates it doesn't work if you close and reopen your browser).
So if you want a Costco on the East side, tell them. How else are they going to know?
