Homeowners install 'Costco doors' to streamline bulk grocery unloading
A growing number of homeowners are renovating their homes to include small 'Costco doors' connecting garages to kitchens or pantries. These modifications allow shoppers to directly unload heavy bulk items, such as 25-pound bags of rice, from their vehicles into their homes, eliminating the need for multiple trips. While the trend offers ergonomic benefits by reducing physical strain and fall risks, some homeowners express concerns regarding pest entry and security. Builders report high demand for this specific feature, reflecting a broader shift toward home efficiency in 2026.
