My son needed to stop at this Costco for a few things which turned into many things. That is not uncommon with big box stores. I never visited the Costcos in my area as they are too far to justify the trip. I make do with our local Sam's Club.
This Charlotte store made me a bit envious. It was bigger than "my" Sam's and I found that there was a better selection of different products. Plus I liked the wine displays and varieties. (Pennsylvania is slow at making progress in the selling of wine in grocery stores.)
A lot of people were taking advantage of the opportunity to sample different food items, but nothing really caught my interest.
Still, I understand the popularity of Costco after browsing through the store. I would shop here if I lived in the area.
