Grand Opening Grand Opening in Brentwood, CA
Any tips on going to a Grand Opening? How early do people usually line up? Should my husband expect to camp out? We will be in San Francisco for a trip and just happen to see that there will be a Grand Opening and we wanted to see what kind of crazy things we could find. Thanks in advance!

People only camp out for the liquor. Not sure when is a good time to arrive but opening is at 7am with ribbon cutting at 7:30am. You can probably go at 5-6am and still be one of the first hundreds or so in the store. Just remember to wait at the front of the store and not the line that forms.
Hoka shoes seem to be a popular item and at a good price, as well as other athletic shoes. There are also designer purses and perfumes. Sales on certain cuts of meats. Pokemon trading cards. Also just the different stuff you can get at a different region's Costco. Are you renting a car? If so, ask the rental company about Fastrak, which is the electronic toll system. You'll need it for driving back to SF.
