john72+FollowCostco Free Samples: No More Kid-Only Snack Runs?Heads up, Costco fans! The days of sending your kids off to snag free samples while you shop are over.

How will this change your Costco routine? #Business #LocalBusiness #Costco00Share
Mark Sims+FollowCostco’s ‘Death Cross’: Time to Panic?Costco’s stock just flashed a ‘Death Cross’—a technical pattern that usually has Wall Street whispering “sell!” But before you dump your Costco shares, here’s a fun fact: the last time this happened, the stock actually bounced back and rallied. So, if you’re a Costco shopper or investor, this might be more of a ‘buy the dip’ moment than a reason to freak out. Sometimes, the market loves to fake us out! #Business #Market #Costco389Share

Either way, plan to spend a little if you want that script on file! #Business #LocalBusiness #Costco192Share

The case is moving forward, so keep an eye on your inbox for any updates from Costco, and consider double-checking your privacy settings online. #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Costco10Share
Nicole Washington+FollowCostco Pizza Drama: Why Your Combo Slice Is GoneEver wonder why you can’t get that famous Costco Combo Pizza anymore?

Next time you’re at Costco, keep an eye out for these changes! #Business #LocalBusiness #Costco126Share
