Sam’s Club in Pearl City is moving forward to opening a member’s only gas station like Costco’s in Iwilei. If you ever visited the Costco’s gas station, you will notice the long lines and crowded cars waiting to fill up. It’s the cheapest in town so waiting 15 minutes or more is quite a norm if you are used to it. I hope Sam’s move will alleviate the congestion and keep the prices competitive.
Wal-Mart broke ground last week on its first Hawaii Sam’s Club gas station, which will compete with rival Costco for Oahu’s discount gasoline market.
In a state where gas prices are often among the highest in the nation, Costco is popular for offering its members prices that are 10 cents or more per gallon cheaper than other retailers, as evidenced by the long lines at each of its stations.
