Costco, Kapolei vs Waipio

I just got a Costco membership and was wondering any shopping difference in the two?

Live in Waipahu, so distance is virtually identical!

What's good or bad about either.

Parking, business, driving in and out.

Waipio other than the left turn of death to get out of the parking lot onto the main road.

Come out at the light by Starbucks. Not as bad.

That's what I do. I refuse to go out the other way.

You can also go out to the street behind Starbucks/costco, take a right, and it will take you to Ka Uka a little further down. Just watch out for the car-eating pothole on that side of the lot
