I can once remember the same argument going on about bringing Walmart from Kona to Hilo, and everyone said Walmart would fail in Hilo. Now Walmart in Hilo is one of their highest money making stores in the islands.
As far as Puna folk not wanting our side to turn into Kona, it can't we have the rain, they don't and most tourists would rather spend their vacation on a sunny beach instead of a rainforest of jungle. But people to support Costco, no problem it would also outdo the Kona store in a heartbeat, just like Walmart did.
