Medford Costco Open to Everyone

Regardless of whether you have a membership, Medford's Costco will open its doors to everyone Friday.

The holiday open house is a once a year opportunity for those who don't have a membership to shop.

Santa Claus will be taking free photos with children from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Extra food samples will be out, local vendors will have products on display and shoppers will get a preview of Black Friday promotions.

Nearly 3,000 people visit the store every day. That number is expected to double tomorrow.

"Costcos been doing this for 10 plus years now really means something special and a lot of people are really trying to save money. Costcos really trying to do anything they can do to keep prices down during this economic downturn, and that's one of the reasons we'll be open to the public."

You will need to get a visitor's pass to shop anytime between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Friday. You can also buy gas but you'll have to purchase a Costco gift card to fill up.
