It may sound unbelievable but it is true, the Hawaii Costco store at Iwilei on Oahu has the highest sales volume out of all of the 512 Costco warehouse stores in the nation. Costco Hawaii has been at the #1 spot for almost 2 years now with $300 million dollars in sales last year -- more than double the $129 million annual average sales volume of a Costco store.
The first Hawaii Costco store opened in Salt Lake in 1988, and in 2002 moved to their current Iwilei location. There are also Costco stores in Hawaii Kai and Waipio on Oahu, Kona on the Big Island, Kahului on Maui, and Lihue on Kauai. A fourth Oahu store is scheduled to open in Kapolei next year.

We live in Hilo and it is a 3 hour drive to the Kona Costco store on the other side of the island, so we do not shop there. I figured the cost in gas, time (all day trip), and carbon emissions would outweigh any dollar savings.
Is there a Costco store near your home and do you shop there?
