Costco North Lakes is open here in Brisbane, it opened on Thursday 29th of May 2014, although I couldn’t get down there in the morning due to work and also having a family I thought I’d go on the first day open in the evening as the crowds would’ve died down by then.
I was certainly wrong.
The opening hours for Costco North Lakes store on the Costco website is 10 am to 8.30 pm weekdays, on the weekend it is Saturday 9 am to 5 pm and Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm.
So I thought with the 8.30 pm closing on the first day I would have plenty of time to have dinner, gets the squids off to bed and then get down there to have a sticky beak for the first time.
Also, I might add while I’m at it the Costco Gas Station is open from Monday to Friday 6 am to 9.30 pm, Saturday 6 am to 7.30 pm and lastly Sunday from 7 am to 6 pm, so different to the main Costco North Lakes warehouse.
So I was off to Costco North Lakes at 17 -39 Cook Court, North Lakes.
Driving there it didn’t look too busy compared to the morning going to work where I was stuck for half an hour trying to get out on the highway.
But when I made it across the highway and down that last slope to turn right after Bunnings it was bumper to bumper still and this was around the 7 pm mark and the car park was full to the brim.
There were lollipop men and women ushering cars around to the right places, making sure we all were going the right way and I’m pretty sure, still keeping the traffic flow to Bunnings going as well.
When you got out of the car the hum and noise was certainly up there, there were people and cars everywhere.
