COUNTRY MANAGER'S NOTE

Where the heart is

Many of the stories in this issue focus on how Costco can help you improve your home in one way or another. They begin with this issue’s cover story, “Home by Costco,” which shares home renovation projects that three Costco member couples completed using Costco products and services as part of their rejuvenation efforts. While the story focuses on the upgrades these members made in their homes, I couldn’t help but think about how such transformations also reinforce some of things having a home means to people: stability, security, comfort, refuge, a place to make memories and more. If you’ve thought about upgrading your home, this story might inspire you.

The theme continues with our For Your Home Special Section. “Drying out” discusses how a dehumidifier can increase the air quality in your home and prevent mould. In "Built to last", you’ll find a profile of Costco supplier Lanart Rug. Many people know how well a rug can tie a room together, and this feature provides details on the company’s backstory and its quality products. In Buyers' picks, our buyers showcase several items that will serve you well in managing various aspects of your home.

Finally, this issue’s Buying Smart, "Tame the chaos", offers a comprehensive look at ways members can outfit their garages through Costco. You’ll find everything from flooring, to shelving, to tools and equipment to perform automotive work.

I sincerely hope Costco can be of help to you and your family in managing and improving your home this spring.
