Kauai opens its first Costco

Lines were long all day yesterday at the grand opening of the Lihue Costco. The store is Costco's first on Kauai and its sixth in the state. Costco acquired the site for the Kauai store, a 14.76-acre parcel in Puhi, from Grove Farm Land Corp. last year. The store was originally scheduled to open in August but was delayed due to higher-than-expected construction costs. CLICK FOR LARGE
