Photo: NZ HeraldAlmost a month since its grand opening in Auckland, Costco has revealed some of its best-selling items, while hinting more New Zealand stores could be in the pipeline soon. Fresh produce and food have been a top category at the West Auckland warehouse, with Madagascar crabs and rotisserie chickens flying out the door. The store was seeing between 5000 and 6000 daily customers and on average 7000 new members signing up a week. The "extraordinary" reception has promoted the US retailer to start working on plans for stores in Christchurch and Wellington.
