Emergency crews evacuated an Oahu Costco on Thursday because of an odor in the building.

It happened about 3 p.m. at the Waipio location.

The odor was due to a leak in the store's cooling system, Honolulu Fire Department officials said.

About 150 people were in the store at the time. No one was injured, officials said.
