The Pleasanton Police Department will be assigning additional officers to patrol in the area of a new Costco store that opened the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The opening drew large crowds with many shoppers even attempting to camp out outside the store for days in advance.

Shoppers are out braving the rainstorm, hoping to be among the first to check out a new Costco in Pleasanton. And though that store doesn't open until next week, the line of people camped out in front is already long.

Hundreds of people were lined up early Wednesday morning outside a brand new Costco in Pleasanton, several hoping to score discounted alcohol.
