TIP: If at all possible, try entering from the back. NOT right where the gas bar is located right off The Queensway. Weakest Costco out of the 3 that are in Mississauga. Yes, it has a gas station, but what's the point when it's always jam-packed and there is ZERO parking??!! Today, I had to park off to the side of Queen Elizabeth Blvd, behind Costco, parallel to QEW because there were no spots and I didn't want to fight with other cars waiting. I couldn't find what I came in to look for which I swear I've seen at other Costco locations. Anyway, if you're planning on a trip here, pack your patience and really try to go off-peak to avoid the jam. I think on the weekend it's all the locals + Torontonians who say, "Let's ALL go to Costco!"...at the same time. read more

This is not my favourite Costco location. I got a membership at Costco about a year ago, mostly because I now have 2 puppies, and we go through paper towels like it's no body's business. When shopping here, I totally have to be careful about what I buy, b/c the cupboards really start to fill up and I can't find anything - a la any pack rat-ty type person. This Costco, I can never seem to get to in at a reasonable time, mostly b/c it's hard to find, you can't find it off the highway. And I hate to say it, but I prefer the location in Brampton (probably b/c it's close to work, and as one of my friend's says - I'm the most efficient lunch break taker around. For anyone who wants to go to this place, it's east of Islington, down a small street that starts with a T - you see the gas station first...then you can't miss it... On the plus size, they really do have good prices on cheese, dish washer tabs, etc - I typically pick up cleaning supplies. I'm not a huge meat eater, but if I could ever fathom eating 5 pounds of anything, I might pick up some meat here. It's also good to shop here if you're preparing for a dinner party, and have a close neighbour to share with. read more

I'm not too sure why no one has reviewed Costco that much. To be honest, I LOVE Costco. But yes, you will need a car and a membership (or go with someone who does). I thought Costco was only if you had kids because everything is in bulk. I do a lot of shopping with my husband and it's just the two of us in a small (under 750 square feet) condo. Things I love about Costco: - Bulk freezable items. For meats, just portion them off in smaller freezer bags and freeze them. The prices for boneless chicken breasts are ridiculously cheap. If you're a big smoothie fan, buy their huge bags of frozen fruits. - They're cook books! They have a good selection of cook books for cheaper prices. They're even cheaper than online as you don't have to pay a shipping fee. I've become a bit addicted to buying my cook books from there, I've bought 6 from them already. The books range from lesser known authors to Martha Stewart, Nigella Lawson, Jamie Oliver, and right now they've got Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking there for $27. - Special deals/promotions. Every week they have promotions like every other grocery store, but sometimes they'll have people in like Vitamix and they give store specials. - High end items. You can sometimes find Miele vaccuums there and there are always high end cheeses available for cheaper and you get more. - Generous return policy. If you don't like it, return it. If you don't like Costco, you can get a refund on your membership at any time. Things I don't like: - Frequent rotating stock. Did you grab a cheese you really liked and want to go back for more? It might not be there again. Same with the cookbooks. Items you see may not always be there when you go there again so the store has cleverly put you in a position to "buy now". - Not enough organic stuff Overall, it's definitely worth it to check it out if you can. read more

Costco is what it is.....i don't go often. but will stock up when i do. and NOW they sell gas?? the line ups are crazy. read more

I love this place. With three boys it comes in handy shopping for massive quantity and decent price. Now theres a gas station thats much cheaper but it closes to freakin early. Dont know why hmmmmm. read more

It's not that I'm against the underlying premise of Costco--buying cheaper in bulk. It's just that, without a huge family and a huge car to haul them and all their crap in, I don't have much use for a five-gallon drum of Pine-Sol and all the other oversized quantities Costco sells. So it doesn't make sense for me to get a membership (yeah, you gotta pay to get in) for something that's not in my demographic. Anyway, I was here the other day helping a friend buy a NordicTrack elliptical trainer. It was a good deal at around $900, but it weighed a ton; and I was the one doing a fair amount of the heavy lifting. The supplied dolly was just barely big enough to hold it, and while an employee helped us get it on it in the warehouse, we were on our own for hefting it into the back of the van in the parking lot. read more

Costco - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

See all

this location is a bit wonky don't get me wrong, it has lots of parking, but defiantly has some inventory issues, ive had a few issues with pricing, and also trying to purchase items. for example was i needed to pick up pine sol for my apartment, and the inventory on this product was not on the floor at all, when i ended up looking up in the racking, i saw that a brand new skid was up high in the air, when i tried to get an employee to bring it down so i can purchase it, they responded with "were not selling pine-sol for the next two weeks, because wal-mart is selling the same bottle for cheaper" when i explained how i was at Costco and wanted to pick it up now, the employee said no and walked away. the cashiers are generally super happy, but if you see something you like, don't delay, pick it up on that visit, cause chances are, it wont be there in the future. im pretty upset that they got rid of the "veggie food" selection (falafel balls, chick pea patties, etc) not to rant on this location, but i think costco as a whole needs to send out the "coupon" booklet a little bit more regularly. "meh, ive experienced better" 100 percent read more

Parking is congested and scarce. Finding one is like winning the lottery. And why do people walk so slow with their carts in here. It's like online shopping with dial up. I just want to scratch my eyes out. If it weren't for some of the bulk items with great prices, I would just as well buy them elsewhere. I have to admit though, their produce is high class and I secretly love their soft ice cream. Push your way to the middle cash out line. I don't know why people herd at both ends? read more

I shop at Costco for the things that are difficult to afford at Loblaws or our local health food store. Hemp hearts, eco laundry soap, recycled office paper, healthy breakfast cereals, nuts, fish, delicious imported cheeses and exotic oils such as Avocado oil or organic olive oil. I also stock up on Annie's Pasta when they have it: my daughter loves it and at our local store it's $4.99 (not much more than a buck a pack at Costco). I want to praise Costco for tentatively walking the path towards carrying more environmentally responsible products, such as coffee from sustainable organic and fair trade sources, and also forest-friendly bathroom tissue. However I am very frustrated that this branch isn't more consistent in carrying responsible paper products. Kitchen and bathroom tissue and kleenex ought to always be offered in sustainable form. Virgin paper from trees felled expressly for the purpose of disposable paper should not even be available to consumers any longer: our eyes have opened to our disappearing natural environment and we can't stick our heads back into the sand on this. I have spoken to William, merchandizing manager, and he has kindly offered to sell me a pallet of Cascades toilet paper, in case the store doesn't carry it again in the near future. This is a nice solution for me but doesn't help other ethical consumers out there. I URGE ALL THOSE WHO VALUE COSTCO TO BUY CASCADES WHEN YOU SEE IT IN THE STORE AND SPEAK TO THE STAFF ABOUT CARRYING IT ON A REGULAR BASIS. Genuine choice so we can make the RIGHT choices - Please!!!! read more

I do not like the layout of this Costco. It is backwards to what I am used to. Today I had the trouble finding the coffee beans that were on sale because they moved them out of the coffee aisle. I understand the need to place them in a prominent spot but they should leave some in the spot we regulars expect to find it. The parking is a nightmare here and the staff are hard to find if I need helping locating an item. read more

Excellent prices, most of the time great customer service, and great quality of products. I've been to this Costco location more times than I can count, and I am always coming back to it. Almost every time I go there, I get amazing customer service when it comes to cashiers making conversation and being helpful (eg once I bought flowers, and after paying they sent me to get the "wrap" for them, if you will that was just past the cash registers). They also stand behind their products, so if you buy for example a two-pack of organic chickens and one of them goes bad before the expiry date, they will refund you with no issues what-so-ever. The not so great experiences I've had in the past weren't anything worth mentioning, as I can barely remember one or two of them, that have been trumped time and time again by positive experiences, so all is forgiven. So overall, I'd definitely return to this venue, as I have been on a regular basis for many, many years now. read more

Not a member but I still snuck in by flashing my YMCA card. Everything was working fine while filling up my basket until I got to the cash register, when flashing my YMCA card didn't work. Sadly, I could only buy a $1.50 hotdog on the other side of the cash out area and leave, flashing my hotdog receipt upon exiting :(. read more

Costco - King of Costco - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

I love Costco. I joined in the States and was tickled pink when I found out my membership can be used up here. I got designer glasses with transitions lenses for 220. Nice. :) I had to get a new cell phone plan after Bell screwed me hard (see my review on the trainwreck of Bell Canada, a company that is on par with the Church of Scientology when it comes to fleecing people). I got a nice phone (I just use it for calling and text) and a reasonable plan from Virgin (I told Omar, the nice rep that I did NOT want Bell or Rogers and that I would immediately leave if he tried to sell me on either company, I had just cancelled Bell and I was furious---this all happened on the previous day from when I wrote this review). Anyway, I signed up, it will be about 10-15 cheaper than Bell per month and I got $225 in Costco giftcards just for signing up for a two year contract, yay! Damn fine deals on scoopable cat litter, oregano (we go through a lot) and almond milk. Onions, too. :D read more

Consider becoming a member, it's a great place to stock up on stuff. Lots of products that you wouldn't typically see in other stores because Costco is an American owned company. Members also get the opportunity to get gas at probably one of the cheapest prices in the area, if you're willing to wait. read more

Showed up just before close and they let us in, closing the gate behind us. They then proceeded to herd us out of the store very rudely like cattle. Glad I didn't pay for a membership here because this level of customer service is pure garbage. read more

My local Costco. Nothing that the other ones don't carry. I like the fact that I can get to the back entrance quite quickly. As others mentioned the front door greeter is annoying. I've been there a few times on the weekend and she basically yells at you to show your membership. Annoying when there are a bunch of people fiddling around for their wallet/purse and you just want to get in. read more

The place was as good as a Costco can be but the receipt checker on the way out seemed to not care about line cutters which should be important for busy places like this, but seemed more bothered when people pointed this problem out to him. read more

I use this place for stocking up on business supplies as well as getting the more bulk-type stuff for home. They have a fantastic return policy - I ordered two different kinds of office chairs online and put them together at home, didn't like one of them and was able to return it 'built' without any problem. I have the Exec. Membership which means I get 2% off all purchases back as an annual cheque, more on the (already cheaper) gas - so I hardly pay anything for membership at the end of the year. I just tried out the tire centre this week, and although the guys are great, it's very difficult to get anyone to answer the phone in that department. Combine this with the fact that you can't book a service appointment on the weekend (first come first served) and my recent experience of being here 15 mins before they were due to open on Sunday and STILL being told I had 90 minute wait means that I can't give them more than 4 stars... read more

Since they built a gas station in the parking area, it is impossible to find a parking space (at least on weekend). The last time we went around 2 pm on Saturday, spent half an hour circling around and had to leave because there was no parking available. Very disappointing. read more

Great location in Etobicoke, right off the highway. Great value and your dollar goes really far. I always buy Olivia Frozen Wild Sockeye salmon fillets and organic eggs each time I go. If you can find the organic coconut oil for $20, buy it, an amazing deal! read more

Costco is the best, hands down for 99.9 % of everything that you could want . I even found Saffron there the other day. Stellar customer service, good to great prices, an unbelievably generous return policy and a a surprisingly interesting choice of products for a big warehouse store. No it's not chic, but I love it read more

The customer service needs improvement. The people at the door seem miserable and do not know their manners. The lady asked for our card and no one else coming through the door. It made us feel awkward and unwelcome. Otherwise, the selection of organics is great and everything seems very fresh. read more

i love costco. but the parking is congested all the time.

Since they added the gas station parking has been a nightmare. The problem is compounded by the fact patrons of a nearby business also park in the lot. read more

Costco is amazing if you're looking for better value for your money, but they're wholesale so everything here is huge and sold in bulk. If you're just a couple like us, it's a bit of a challenge but that actually means we get stocked up for about 2-3 weeks, possibly even a month! The fresh produce section is okay too, although sooner or later during the month you'd have to get fruits and vegetables from another place. We love the Kirkland Angus burgers and panko crusted shrimps, and the bakery section is one place I always like linger longer-- so much bread and pastries to choose from! Then again there's a lot of each so we end up refrigerating them so they can last at least for a week or two. We get meat too which ends up in our freezer and I just cook them in parts. We also love the rotisserie chicken here, and we have yet to try the chicken pot pie. There's also amazingly cheap hotdogs which comes with soda, and decent fries and poutine at the snack counter. The only thing about Costco is it's usually crowded especially during weekends, and it may be a bit of an unpleasant experience having to elbow through throngs of people with large grocery carts. It's better to come on a weekday so you can take your time going through the shelves and displays. read more
