Bit like Campbells Cash and Carry on Steroids from what I understand.
What I DON'T get is opening it in Docklands. I thought the target demographic would have suited the blue collar suburbs.

I agrre somewhere out the burbs would have been better
also parking in that area is not great
they have built some parking after
Harbour town opened.
As not a regular visitor I find that area confusing
I filled up and paid for membership yesterday
should receive my card in 5 days

Their offer is positioned toward the higer socio-economic demographic (i.e. those who are happy to pay an annual fee regardless of purchase)
All I can say guys is get behind them, the more healthy competition out there against WW & Coles the better us, the consumer will be in the long term.
Docklands is their first in AUS, but won't be the last...

We virtually lived in the one near us in the USA.
Fantastic value; you'll recoup the sixty bucks in the first couple of visits.
It's totally no frills and great value.
The Sydney one is planned for Auburn. A very multicultural/working class area. Cant wait, it sounds great and the more competition for the duopoly, the sooner the better.

The same rock as me apparently
Docklands is a pain but hopefully if this one is supported and successful a few more will pop up in the burbs.
Auburn is pretty much at center of Sydney & metro areas.
If your going to have one store and draw from a large radius around a store, that's the place to put it.
It seems like it will be like a "destination store", like a specialty store where people leave home with the main purpose of going there.

Can't believe you guys haven't even heard of Costco?? Wow
I've got my card, I just need to get the photo done. Very easy for us to get to Docklands and it's about time us West, North West melbourne ppl got something. I think it's in a good spot for the type of ppl it will attract. But I'm biased I guess.
I'm hoping to buy things like toilet rolls, paper towels, baby wipes etc. also food items like fruit cups, Le Snaks, noodles, crackers etc that will last a while and I can buy a heap of.
I gotta admit... I'm quite excited about it.

Same here in SA. They dominate the market and the lack of competition doesn't do much for their pricing structure.
so - who's shorting woolies with me?

I lead a sheltered life what can I say.
I guess if I need anything I could always get you, Ms Dish, to grab it for me
Certainly... my shoppers fee will only be 5%
Joined CostCo in Tokyo. We go there every month or two. Great for bulk buying groceries here - mainly food, and detergent etc for us. The only place I can buy wine casks for a reasonable price. The appliances, furniture, clothing etc can usually be bought cheaper elewhere. Cafe is quite cheap with fairly large portions. Some portions in the supermarket tend to be a little large, for example a bucket sized tiramusu. It may not totally change your grocery buying etc but the experience can be quite interesting.
