If you've watched the new warehouse go up at Lake Hazel and Meridian roads, it's open. Meridian became the first city in Idaho with two Costcos, and all 903 parking stalls were packed before 9 a.m.

It's the first Costco in the Treasure Valley with a market-delivery operation for large-item home deliveries. KIVI-TV reports it handles big appliances like fridges and washers or dryers. One member showed up super early with a custom cart for his hot dog.
“This one's near my house. I don't have to drive eight miles to north Meridian, and I don't have to drive six miles to Boise.”
