A Visit to Costco!


Costco in Watford

I have never seen a group of students more excited about going to Costco than we were today! We left our flats at 8am to get to Costco by 10, where they would be giving us a presentation on Costco internationally and talking to us about it.

The Entrance to the UK Costco Headquarters (We were a delivery, obviously.)

Our Presentation
 They gave us lunch after the really interesting and informative presentation, which was Hot Dogs and of course, Kirkland bottled water! I was excited to see a familiar sight... :)

 After lunch, they let us go into the store and look around and buy things if we wanted. Here's what the store looked like from the second floor, where the offices were:
It looked a lot like our stores but still had plenty of differences.

Checkout lines
My purchase, of course:

 
Gotta have my Skippy.
After 5 hours there (10-2), we headed back to the train station and on our way back to London.

It was a fun and educational trip and I am glad to have learned all about Costco on an international scale!
