Whiskey Enthusiasts Flock to Pleasanton Costco for Grand Opening Deals

Campers seeking rare spirits and discounted wines were sent home ahead of the store's Wednesday debut.

The new Pleasanton Costco is set to open Wednesday, with rare and discounted whiskeys drawing significant attention from enthusiasts.
Campers began lining up days in advance, despite inclement weather, but were told to leave as Costco did not yet have occupancy of the area.
Sought-after spirits like Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon ($59.99) and Eagle Rare 10 Year Bourbon ($32.49) are confirmed to be available at notably low prices.
Speculation continues about whether ultra-rare bottles, such as Pappy Van Winkle, will be stocked; Costco has not confirmed specific inventory details.
Past grand openings, like Napa's in October, have proven lucrative, with $500,000 in wine and spirits sold on the first day alone.
