East Coast Costco members lookin' for prime briskets
It looks like more and more east coast Costcos are starting to carry prime packers. One member mentioned that an employee told him they were starting to test market them on the east coast. So let's see where they are now available. If you live on the East Coast, please respond. If your Costco doesn't have them, but you spot them in the next few weeks, please post that here.
My Costco has had them at least a week now in Midlothian VA.
It would be nice if you included the location of your Costco.

I have only seen choice flats in my two Costcos that I have visited. No packers at all. Columbia, MD. And Arundel Mills mall location, also in Maryland.
I will check the Fairfax, VA store this Friday. I emailed customer service requesting them last week and they responded in the affirmative to the suggestion. Hopefully they will follow through.
I recently picked up 40 lbs of beef plate ribs for my Make Memorial Day Great Again! event. That's pretty close! Got them at a local international market which is also the only place I can get packers (choice grade). Hoping Costco comes through on the prime packers.

Not a member, but just checked the South Orlando store . . . No packers, just choice flats. Another poster said the East Orlando store had prime packers as a test to see if they would sell. Apparently not so much South (tourist) area. I don't know if I would be enticed to join to get a good price for prime packers, but I saw nothing this trip that is not available at a better price elsewhere in town.
As johnec00 said, and you guessed a few days ago RonB, I found them in the east orlando. The meat manager said they're testing the market and it may or may not be the last time.
