People love Costco - some more than others.
A Gold Star Executive member of the warehouse store, Max Ellinger is a Costco loyalist through and through, visiting the store nearly three times a week. The 27-year-old told Business Insider he had his birthday party in the Costco food court in 2015 and once even took a date to the store.
"I think all of the people who have weird attachments to Costco have a pretty similar story," said the West Coast native who is also a Costco credit cardholder.
It's true that Costco has a committed fan base, but Ellinger's devotion runs deeper than most.
