Ah yes, Costco! One of my favorite spots to walk around and "shop" with nothing particular in mind to purchase. This location, as with many other Costco Wholesale retailers, has great variety and prices on a wide array of goods.
First, if you are expecting some sort of friendly customer service with employees always available to assist and answer whatever questions you may have, this probably isn't the place for you. Although its a large store and there are employees scattered throughout, your mostly on your own to search and find whatever you need. This does not bother me a bit, not because I am a Costco regular shopper, but for the fact that its such a large store that you basically want to explore it yourself. Besides, instead of having employees everywhere you go on the sales floor to assist you, have them waiting at the cashier/check out lanes so we can get through that process faster. More check out lanes open simply mean the process will be quicker and more efficient. A problem that this Costco, for the most part, faces everyday, particularly on the weekends.
Just like any other Costco store, there is a large inventory and assortment of goods to choose from. The bakery, which is my favorite spot, has some excellent deals on baked bread and dessert treats. I love visiting early during the week and grabbing a "Fresh Garlic Loaf Baked Bread"for only three dollars! It could literally last a week for various meals, but not with the way I eat and snack all the time (haha)! Same can be said about the prices on frozen foods, vegetables, prepared salad mixes, and items by the bulk. Important to note is that Costco really is not a primary location to buy everyday stuff or groceries, although it certainly could be, but rather a store to purchase by the bulk or in large quantities. For myself, I just like to shop for nothing in particular and pick up stuff that I find interesting or possibly delicious.
Still, I love Costco and everything that it is, especially the Food Court (see my separate Yelp Review on "Costco Food Court " to see what I mean about the food) and the convenience of the gas station. Its what you could expect from any other Costco Wholesale, but is that a bad thing?
Pros: Great selection of everything, Bakery, Produce, Televisions, Food Court, Gas Station, Huge Store, Good prices for the most part.
Cons: Bad parking lot, Average check out lines open and overall speed of cashiers, Watch out on the weekends; It WILL be packed with customers/shoppers/people/robots you name it!
