IT’S OK EVERYONE! I’M CANADIAN SO I HAVE A FULL STOCK OF MAPLE SYRUP IN THE EVENT OF A WORST CASE SCENARIO!!! We used all the sugar while canning pickles. Our next canning event is likely peaches, and I make those with maple syrup instead of sugar anyway. ---

> [@Breadmaker](#): > > But there were still chikkinz there, right??? Asking for a friend… My Costco is doing some remodelling/construction and they took out big parts of the back of the store including the chicken rotisserie and the big part of the open cold case displays. The also took out 1 of 2 complete freezer banks. So my next trip to Costco will have to be to one of the ones that are a few towns away, at least if I want a full selection of my usual shtuff. WTF? ---

Not sure what the Business Model is for Costco, but I get an idea that 100000 residents is about the minimum for one typically-sized Costco. Now, there are five Costco’s in the San Fernando Valley (“The Valley” 'round these parts), and it has a population of 1.75 million, but they are all in a ten-mile radius. And they’re often quite packed. And, there is not a lot of open space (well, could convert some empty office buildings) to build more. ---

> [@Ajstudies](#): > > Wow, Costco Heaven! (or the other place? I still haven’t been in one.) When I vacation, I have been known to plan my trip around access to out-of-state Costcos, so I have been to many. For the record, they are about 95% or more the same wherever you go, but the fun part is seeing what the (up to) 5% differences are! Like in some states, you cannot buy liquor at Costco. Here the liquor (such as Kirkland tequila) is right over by the baked goods. Some states allow Costco to sell beer and wine, but not liquor. Those seem to have many more beer & wine options. In Florida, the Costcos have more seafood options. Go figure. Most Costcos have merch that supports local sports teams, like shirts, sweatshirts, even folding chairs. The Wisconsin Costcos do sell New Glarus beer, which is available only in Wisconsin. Bottlegging New Glarus to Illinois is a common thing to do [Previous page](https://community.goactuary.com/t/shortages-and-stuff/3839.md?page=21) [Next page](https://community.goactuary.com/t/shortages-and-stuff/3839.md?page=23)
