Let's just start by being clear -- I love Costco. Always have and probably always will. I've been smitten from my first visit to one of the gigantic warehouses when they first opened with one store in Portland, OR, in the early 1980s. Back then, Costco was an upstart, playing second fiddle to Price Club. I have a dream of actually working there someday.
I was a journalist back then and was taken to the first warehouse store in east Portland by one of the investors, who happened to be a local businessman. Over the years, I've shopped at Costcos from coast-to-coast and even in London UK.
So, why the blog? Well, they say the best blogs are those that combine personal passion with a strong interest and insight. My goal with this blog is to write about everything Costco, but it's mostly going to be about the stores and the products sold there.
So stay tuned. I'll be reviewing products as well as commenting on the company generally.
Sounds like you joined Costco a bit before I did. I think I joined shortly after the one in Aloha, Oregon opened. I always buy my eye glasses and tires there. Bought tires there again last year. The guy that installed them said "didn't you used to drive a car with PC-Kwik as its license plate? I used to use PC-Kwik software!" If I took a statistically representative poll of tire installers in the greater Portland area I bet the percentage that would know what PC-Kwik was would be 0.001%
