Costco finding success in Hawaii

Costco Wholesale Corporation plans to open its sixth Hawaii store next month on Kauai. And more Costco locations may soon be on their way.
Costco has a contract to purchase a 17-acre site in Kapolei, where it expects to open a new warehouse and gas station in the spring of 2008. It is also searching for other locations, such as in Hilo, but there are no firm plans.
Jim Sinegal, the company's president and C-E-O, says Costco has been very successful in Hawaii because it has delivered value to consumers.
He says the Costco next to downtown Honolulu is among the top ten in the nation in sales.
