Hamilton has 2 meanwhile with nearly 600,000 people, and one of them only opened a couple years ago. There is another one in Burlington as well which is actually closer than the two in Hamilton for a lot of locations in the city though. So I guess 3 Costco’s for a metro area of 800,000.

The Orillia location is busy even in the Winter but I'm pretty sure it's because half of Barrie shops at it. The Barrie location has an insane amount of traffic at a very busy interchange with huge power centres whereas the Orillia location is on a road that isn't busy at all and is out of the way.
One city that I'm surprised that still doesn't have a Costco is Thunder Bay.
