Costco, the giant retailer that is a leader in the business of wholesale discount clubs, opened its first location in Lawrence on Thursday morning.

The Lawrence store - located near the interchange of the South Lawrence Trafficway and Sixth Street - will be the nearest Costco location for shoppers in Topeka, Manhattan and other points north and west of the Lawrence. A Costco store typically produces $150 million or more of sales per year, and often creates a surge of other retail businesses that want to be next to the store and its high volume traffic. Costco leaders officially opened the store at 8 a.m on Thursday. Here's a look at several scenes from the opening.
