It lools really similar, but I don’t think so. Wrong number of windows on that tower on the corner, the arch is different, and the lamps, while the same style, have only two per pole at that point in the lot.
The shot you’re taking isn’t from the area where the original picture was taken.
If you move the camera over to where it’s looking at the similar tower structure, there are only two.
EDIT: Also, while the logo looks similar to Costco’s, if you zoom in on the original, it’s not a Costco logo. I think – not 100% sure – that that’s a CompUSA, from back when they were still in business. Check out their logo:
EDIT2: I found it. There used to be a CompUSA in the same shopping center; different building from Costco. It’s a Best Buy now, but it has the right lights and the three windows on one side of the tower and the two on the other.
That’s the Costco parking lot in Goleta isn’t it?

I never thought I’d get to say this but…
THERE. ARE. FOUR. LIGHTS.

EDIT3: Oh, to be fair, I guess the carts are on the Costco side…it’s just looking at the CompUSA.
Haha, sorry I made you go down that rabbit hole. Well done on the research!
EDIT: the shot I took was more or less from the perspective of the original, but looking to the left/west
EDIT 2: you’re right that it was a compusa, I used to buy blank CDs from there to burn mp3s! God I’m old.
