Costco debuts in Puerto Vallarta on March.

Tuesday evening, March 4th, Costco opened its doors to the public to get a preview of the new store. Hundreds of cars filled the spacious parking lot and taxis dropped off passengers as if they were attending a Hollywood premiere or the Academy Awards. Everyone was greeted by a reception line of Costco executives and managers. All of the guests were treated to delicious food in the form of pizza, sushi, raviolis, fresh crab sandwiches and sweet desserts. Shoppers roamed the fully stocked aisles of the store sipping wine and soft drinks to see what they could look forward to the next day when Costco opened for business.

The store is designed and setup just like stores in the U.S.A. and Canada. American and Canadian shoppers will find many of the name brands they are so familiar with like Kirkland (the store brand), Starbuck's coffee beans, Dockers, DKNY and much more. The merchandise mix is designed to fit the Puerto Vallarta lifestyle. Products from cosmetics to fishing boats are all on display. The services offered within the store are familiar as well. The pharmacy, the optical department, film and photo processing, fine jewelry, computers, and office supplies, plus fresh meats and a bakery are all in familiar positions within the store.

U.S.A. and Canadian membership cards are accepted in Puerto Vallarta's newest membership shopping outlet but, if you don't have a card, you can purchase a membership in the Puerto Vallarta Costco that will be honored in the U.S. and Canada.
