The city of Napa has celebrated the grand opening of its first Costco, bringing 350 new jobs to the region. Located in the heart of California’s wine country, the store offers a variety of products, including high-end handbags, electronics, clothing, and the largest selection of wine in any Costco in the U.S. Residents eagerly awaited the opening, with some lining up days in advance.

Shoppers like Cory and Hannah Culp expressed excitement, noting the convenience of the new location compared to driving to Fairfield or Santa Rosa. The event also featured special guests, including UFC Octagon announcer Bruce Buffer, who signed bottles of whiskey, and Costco’s retired founder, Jim Sinegal, who signed wine bottles. This new Costco is expected to boost the local economy and provide more options for Napa residents, adding competition to the region's retail landscape.
