Costco as the New Town Square | Wilmington News
Description
Costco is evolving into a modern “third place” — a social hub outside home and work where people reconnect, share meals, and build community. From college students grabbing food court bites to veterans meeting for decades, the warehouse is turning shopping into social outings — even couples calling it “date night.” With loneliness on the rise and fast-food chains struggling to compete, Costco’s loyalty program fosters belonging, turning membership cards into identity badges in a world increasingly disconnected.
