Unfamiliar Sight:  Empty Store and Parking Lot During Daylight Hours

You know a retail store is popular when a steady stream of cars pulls up in front, and is momentarily frustrated/perplexed by the sight of an empty Costco store and parking lot ” a store that might otherwise have thousands of people and hundreds of cars on a busy holiday weekend (full disclosure: one of those cars was mine).

But, unlike most retail establishments on Labor Day, Costco is closed.

Good!

As both a regular Costco shopper and (very small) shareholder, it makes me like and respect the company even more.

P.S.: the store is also closed Easter, Memorial Day, July 4, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s.
