A Costco birthday surprise

What began as a typical Saturday Costco run quickly turned into the ultimate surprise 40th birthday party. Lawrence Winsor (pictured), an undeniable Costco superfan, had no idea that while roaming the aisles for bulk-quantity goods he would “bump into” so many friends. His wife, Erica, had planned the perfect surprise to celebrate his milestone birthday with friends and family lurking among grocery items, waiting to yell, “Surprise!” After the birthday boy figured it out, everyone gathered in the food court for some of Lawrence’s favorites including pizza, hot dogs, and cake. Costco employees joined the fun, printing a special birthday name tag for the guest of honor and handing out free insulated bags to party guests. It was an unexpected and unforgettable celebration!
