Jennifer Garner Visits Livermore Costco

LIVERMORE, CA — It is not uncommon to run into people you know when visiting your local Costco. Hundreds of shoppers who stopped by the Livermore Costco got a special surprise last month when they ran into someone they recognized but were just meeting for the first time.

Jennifer Garner was handing out product samples on Feb. 26 at the Tri-Valley store. Garner, a mom, actress and entrepreneur, co-founded Once Upon A Farm, a kid-friendly organic food company. The 46-year-old celebrity was clad in a red apron and was all smiles during her visit to the store, according to delighted shoppers.

Garner has made similar stops at other stores across the country, including a Los Angeles Costco earlier this year, according to the company’s Instagram page. The San Diego-based brand comes in recyclable packaging and is being carried at Whole Foods, Target, Costco and Walmart stores in California, according to the company's website.
