Costco’s newest Bay Area store opened in Vallejo on Friday, and shoppers turned out in a big way. The new store on Plaza Drive attracted multiple customers who lined up outside the warehouse to check it out. The 152,000 square-foot location has a massive parking lot and a 32-pump gas station. Inside, there s a food court, tire center and pharmacy. Shoppers could also pick up special products, including the Mac Dre IPA, a tribute to the late rapper and Vallejo native.
