  + stars: | 2024-03-27 | by ( Nathaniel Meyersohn | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min

☆ One Costco employee at each new store can win $500 in cash if they correctly guess first-day sales

In a company tradition, employees at opening warehouses guess their location's first day sales. AdvertisementNovember was a busy month for Costco, with 10 new locations opening up during the month, and seven of those within a ten-day span. A year later I am on the marketing training team and part of my job is traveling to new warehouse openings. This is my first official new warehouse opening and I am so excited to be part of this opening in Newark, California. I love new warehouse openings because there are items that we do not carry all the time, and some warehouse traditions as well.
