I would go to a local Costco bc I don't drive to Kona. I've been w/friends to Kona Costco who make regular runs there - day at beach, then Costco run. Not for me. BUT would def go if one were here. My understanding is that Costco in Kona is supported by east islanders and would suffer if they built one here. Then again, they'd gain a slew of new customers on this side, like me. Like Kirt, I'm sure they crunch those numbers! Target did. I wouldn't be surprised if they decide on building here within next 5 years. The population is only growing.
