Finance Buzz specifically pointed to the Kalamazoo store for standing out in several key areas and ranked the store at #4 Best-Rated U.S. Costco stores:

"Costco in Kalamazoo, one of Michigan's quirkiest college towns. That store scored a total of 54.9 out of 60, with particularly high marks for cleanliness, stock, and friendliness", according to Islands.

Costco has also been named one of Michigan's best employers by Forbes Magazine, doing what it takes to retain and keep employees satisfied.
