One man’s birthday dreams were brought to life by his loving wife at his favorite place in the world.
Wil Cid has always loved theCostco Wholesale clubin Sacramento, according to his wife Vivian. The couple has called Roseville their home for 25 years after moving from Cuba.
Vivian Cid said the idea for the unusual birthday party came from seeing how much her husband Wil Cid enjoys the warehouse store.
“He’s a total fan of Costco,” she toldABC 10. “He knows everybody at the other store at Stanford Ranch, and they’ll say, ‘Hi, Wil.’ I always laugh and say, ‘Why do they know your name?’”

Instead of a traditional venue, Vivian chose the new Costco at Roseville Baseline Marketplace for the surprise. Friends and family were asked to grab shopping carts and pretend to shop until they ran into Wil in the aisles.
To plan it in secret, she created a private group chat with a cheeky invite and asked guests to arrive before she and Wil did.
“I told them, ‘This is how we club at our age,’” Vivian Cid joked. “We used to go clubbing in the disco days, but now this is our club.”
On the day of the party, Wil Cid thought he was just going out to dinner with his wife, their kids, sons-in-law and grandchildren. On the way, Vivian suggested theystop at Costco to pick up a gift card.
Inside the store, Wil Cid noticed familiar faces but didn’t realize what was happening until hereached the food court, where everyone was waiting.
