I find that Costco in store generally has stuff that tends to follow local consumer preferences.
It is worth mentioning that Costco.com does not stock the same things that the physical stores sell, more-so than any other retailer I know of. And different stores have a lot of latitude in what they stock.
My nearest store has tons of things like sugar free sodas, pro-biotic soda, kombucha, no sugar added juices, and juice shots, etc... It might just be the local Costco catering to their market.
- swozey 2y agoWeird, I'm in Denver, pretty healthy crowd here but maybe that Costco is just bad. Nothing like that there.
- xeromal 2y agoYeah, my wife and I always check out the local costco when visiting a city. I can't remember which one it was but I distinctly remember being surprised at all the asian-type foods at one. They had squid chips, sushi, boba, and all kinds of strange things. I want to say it was Oregon or Seattle but it's been a while
- swozey 2y agoI saw a picture of the Costco in Alaska a few years ago and it was full of camping gear and salmon and stuff like that. It was pretty cool. I think it was Juneau, the "smallest Costco."

- kubectl_h 2y agoOh they definitely cater to the local market. Here is a costco in Mountain View: https://www.reddit.com/r/Costco/comments/1dk2pfo/not_a_wine_person_why_is_it_so_expensive/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Costco/comments/1dk2pfo/not_a_wine_...
