Mainers aren't strangers to buying in bulk. We've had Sam's Club and BJ's Wholesale Club for a while, but the grand poobah of them all is Costco. And people were signing up like crazy. Is this the gateway store to Maine getting their first Ikea?

Costco is a mammoth 152,000-square-foot store near Payne and Scarborough Downs Road. The Scarborough Costco will have a gas station, pharmacy, tire center, and food court. Add a laundromat and gym, and I'll move in!

Why are we so excited about a Costco in Maine? Because of the crazy stuff you can buy! I mean, save up, and you can be the proud owner of a 72-pound wheel of cheese. It's under $1,000!

From more cheese than you know what to do with to caskets (I'm not kidding), Costco is your one-stop shopping extravaganza, and Maine can soon join the frenzy! And don't think their plan to open before the holidays is an accident!

Will you become a member? I'm already a member at BJ's, so do I need a membership? Looks like a membership will run you $60 bucks. You can get an executive membership for double that! Either way, if you really want to get ready, be sure to get your membership now, and take next Friday off!
