"I like shopping at Costco - and I also enjoy traveling. So, I love going to Costco whenever I'm in a different country and can find a location nearby. It might seem strange to visit a chain that's famous for selling items in bulk while on vacation, but this can actually be a great way to gain insight into local culture and cuisine."
"Trying different food-court items at Costco may be my favorite vacation activity. The offerings are always affordable, and I never know what local specialty or twist on a classic I might find behind the counter. When I was at Costco in England, I found heaping scoops of gelato piled high into giant waffle cones and enormous loaded jacket potatoes topped with things like tuna, cheese, and beans."
"Though the retailer is based in the US, it has dozens of stores spread across other countries, from Sweden to Japan. Fortunately, I've been able to use my American Costco membership card at warehouses abroad for no extra cost. Here are some of the biggest surprises I've encountered while shopping at Costco locations across the US, South Korea, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Mexico."
An American Costco member uses a U.S. membership card at international warehouses at no extra cost and explores locations across countries including the US, South Korea, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Mexico. International Costco food courts feature varied, affordable menus with regional specialties and twists on classics. Examples include heaping gelato and loaded jacket potatoes in England, steak pies and mango boba smoothies in Australia, and soups on the menu in South Korea. Many international warehouses sell local specialties alongside familiar American products. Visiting Costco abroad serves as an enjoyable way to sample local cuisine, see product differences, and gain cultural insight while traveling.
