Weird, I'm in Denver, pretty healthy crowd here but maybe that Costco is just bad. Nothing like that there.

Yeah, my wife and I always check out the local costco when visiting a city. I can't remember which one it was but I distinctly remember being surprised at all the asian-type foods at one. They had squid chips, sushi, boba, and all kinds of strange things. I want to say it was Oregon or Seattle but it's been a while

I saw a picture of the Costco in Alaska a few years ago and it was full of camping gear and salmon and stuff like that. It was pretty cool. I think it was Juneau, the "smallest Costco."
Yep found it https://old.reddit.com/r/Costco/comments/1e0t9u6/costco_june...

Oh they definitely cater to the local market. Here is a costco in Mountain View: https://www.reddit.com/r/Costco/comments/1dk2pfo/not_a_wine_...
It is worth mentioning that Costco.com does not stock the same things that the physical stores sell, more-so than any other retailer I know of. And different stores have a lot of latitude in what they stock.
My nearest store has tons of things like sugar free sodas, pro-biotic soda, kombucha, no sugar added juices, and juice shots, etc... It might just be the local Costco catering to their market.
