A lot of option in this Costco including the food court and Battery and tires Gas station and much more. Great for a good purchased day for family needs read more

This is one of the best and most pleasant Costcos. They have two additional services which most other Costcos do not: a car wash ($7.99) and propane refill ($13 to refill my 20 gallon tank). The car wash isn't the greatest. I still had some bird poop remnants after passing through, but you get what you pay for. Most importantly, because this store is in the middle of nowhere, at least by Southern California standards, it's relatively quiet in comparison to other locations. read more

This is a solid Costco location as parking isn't too difficult, there usually aren't cart shortages and the store is kept clean and organized. I love going to town on the food court because everything is so affordable! It looks like they brought the churro back temporarily! Yum! read more

You don't need to be told how much I love Costco!! but since you asked, I'm gonna tell you!!! I love love love Costco. This location is not my normal location, but since I was in the area on my way home from work, decided to stop here for a few items and some gas. I can always count on Costco for a great bargain and the lowest fuel prices. My go to store items; Skippy peanut butter, organic agave, sardine fillets, kettle chips, whole wheat bread, organic yogurt, and organic steel oats. I love the quality of all the products. Like any store you have to go during the non-busiest hours in the morning, between 12 and3 and after 5p as parking can be a hassle. Going during high traffic times it can be a longer visit than you may anticipate, however, for the price you pay you you'll always be glad that you came. Definitely give them a try in Poway if you're ever in the area and thank me later. read more

How have I not written a review on this Costco location yet. This location is a little bit further for us but honestly it is worth the little bit further of the drive. The parking here is never super crazy and even if you park in one of the last row of parking it really is not far of a walk to the store. We also discovered this location has a car wash as well as a gas station. We didn't do the car wash this time but I am definitely interested in doing it in the future. We came on a Sunday morning which sounds dangerous for a Costco trip but it was truly not that bad we were able to walk right up to the front of the line and the guys working were super helpful and just scanned everything from the cart. See you soon Costco! read more

Went through the car wash with my 2023 Camry hybrid, which is in immaculate shape. Came out of the car wash and my front bumper was torn apart on the passenger front corner. I told the attendant who came to look at it and tried to fix it and broke off the clip that holds the bumper on the car. He then said I should write up a claim report. So I did it has been over 6 weeks and I've talked to a claim specialist two times who told me that if they find there was no malfunction with the car wash that day they will deny my claim. Are you kidding me? So far I have called repeatedly and they don't call me back meanwhile my bumper is held back together, but because of the clip they broke it is not secure. I would not recommend going to this car wash and they do not take responsibility for the employee breaking the clip off of my bumper if nothing else they need to fix that. But they won't call me back... So frustrating. read more

Aloha all! Do I dare go to Costco without a shopping list? Well ..I did and walking from aisle to aisle I ended up impulse buying like so many others. There is just too many deals to pass up. From groceries to home goods and electronics, it's all here under one roof. The staff here are all so friendly and eager to help find whatever you're looking for. The location of this Costco is further away from the city of San Diego and for that reason it's not as busy as other locations. It's time to check out at the cash register...wish me luck!! read more

No matter what Costco's are always busy, somehow though this Costco seems easy for me to navigate though most of the time. Easy being down the street from my office so great to hit on the way home (usually always run into people from work hehehe). Great variety and the layout of the store is nice and open. The food court is great as well, plenty of seating and awesome cover for when it rains. The employees are always cheerful and helpful too no matter how busy it is read more

I'm officially a Costco convert... though I avoided it for years for a very valid reason: I have zero self-control and tend to leave with things I never planned to buy. That said, I love that they have everything and the prices are genuinely reasonable. This location is my favorite because both the staff and the shoppers are noticeably friendlier--even during peak rush hour, which says a lot. My only real complaint is the organization. I'm terrible at finding things, and when everything seems to be next to everything else, it turns into a bit of a treasure hunt. Thankfully, the staff always know exactly where everything is, which saves me from wandering the aisles. read more

Standard Costco with usual product availability. There is a pharmacy, tire center, car wash and gas station at this location but at night, the parking lot is really dark. It is really concerning as there is a neighboring parking lot where people are known to car camp. read more

I am very disappointed in the way one of the employees treated a customer. The customer had all their food and was ready to pay but they couldn't because their membership needed to be renewed. They tried to pay for it right then and there but they wouldn't let them pay because they weren't using a debit card. I think this is so embarrassing for the customer especially when the employee is being rude to them. read more

Very disappointing experiences with receipt checker named Scott at the Poway Costco today. I have already submitted feedback to Costco, but I wanted to share my concern. This was not the first time I experienced this from him. He did not greet me, make eye contact, or acknowledge me, while he was friendly and talkative with other customers. Today, I even tried to say hello first, but he completely ignored me. My 2-year-old child always looks forward to the receipt checker drawing a happy face on the receipt, but Scott did not acknowledge my child at all multiple times. It may seem like a small gesture, but it is something my child enjoys and remembers during our Costco visits. I hope Costco will look into this matter. A simple greeting and a little kindness can make a big difference in a customer's experience. read more

Re: Tire Center. Why do they even have an appointment system?! Just needed tire rotation. 1:00 appointment. They didn't even get car in bay until 2;30! Sure, they have good tire prices, but if time is money, for you as it is for me, I'd rather pay more at Discount Tire and get the job done in a timely fashion. read more

Best place to shop. Very friendly and super nice/knowledgeable staff. Great selection of many things. Quality and freshness you can count on. Gas has the best price in town. read more

Good value. I highly recommend an executive membership if you plan on spending a few thousand dollars per year.

I was on the way to the gun range with friends and wanted to grab quick meal at Costco. As I was on my way to Costco, approximately 3 to 4 miles out a Costco employee drove up to us and flipped us off and made a racial gesture at us after honking at me from two to three cars back at the traffic light because I was delayed to accelerate due to spilling my drink on my shirt. As we proceed down the street he started to cutting us off. When reached another stop light he was next to me I got out of the car and confronted him and he rolled up his window and called me a F***ing chink. As we reached Costco and got our food I saw him walking into Costco with his gears. I went to ask the entrance lady what was his name so I can report him to the manager, but she claim she only knows him by the nickname Cuddly or Cuddy. I went to the other side, and spoke to a manager named Dan and told him the story. When we started the conversation he wanted to brush the issue off because he told me he didn't know the person by the that nickname. After we carry the conversation further he said he knows who that person is, but he can't do anything because his not on the clock today. I told him racial discrimination does not matter he is on the clock now or not, but it pertains to the working environment it affects other minorities worker in a business environment. I told him I can email the headquarters regarding this issue. Then he took down my information and said he will talk to the individual and call me later. read more

We all know Costco is great if you want to buy high quantities of products you consume and save money in the long run. But did you know: Sure, here are five interesting facts about Costco that might surprise you: 1. Costco's Rotisserie Chickens Are a Loss Leader: Costco sells its famous rotisserie chickens at a loss to attract customers. Priced at just $4.99, these chickens are a major draw for shoppers, who often end up purchasing other items with higher profit margins during their visit. That explains the lady I saw the other day with 40 Rotisserie Chickens in her basket. (What does she do with all that chicken?) 2. Kirkland Signature Brand Dominance: Costco's private label, Kirkland Signature, is known for its high quality and affordability. It accounts for nearly a third of Costco's sales, and many of the products are manufactured by well-known brands under the Kirkland label, offering members great value for their money. Examples of this: Kirkland Vodka: It's widely believed that Kirkland Signature American Vodka is produced by the same distillery that makes Grey Goose. Although neither Costco nor Grey Goose officially confirms this, many believe that the Kirkland vodka offers a comparable quality at a much lower price. Kirkland Batteries: Kirkland Signature batteries are made by Duracell, a trusted name in battery manufacturing. This ensures that the Kirkland batteries offer good performance and reliability. Kirkland Coffee: Some of the Kirkland Signature coffee varieties are roasted by Starbucks. This includes their house blend, which is known for its quality and rich flavor. Kirkland Diapers: Kirkland Signature diapers are made by Kimberly-Clark, the same company that manufactures Huggies. This means that customers can expect a similar level of quality and performance. Kirkland Pet Food: Kirkland Signature pet food is produced by Diamond Pet Foods, a reputable pet food manufacturer known for its high standards and quality ingredients. 3. No Advertising Policy: Unlike many large retailers, Costco does not spend money on advertising. Instead, they rely on word-of-mouth marketing and the appeal of their membership model to attract and retain customers. This helps keep their operating costs low, which is passed on to shoppers in the form of lower prices. 4. Costco's Return Policy: Costco is renowned for its generous return policy. Members can return almost any item at any time if they are not satisfied, with a few exceptions like electronics, which have a 90-day return window. This policy contributes to customer loyalty and satisfaction. 5. $1.50 Hot Dog and Soda Combo: The price of Costco's iconic hot dog and soda combo has remained the same since it was first introduced in the mid-1980s. Despite inflation and rising costs, Costco has kept the price at $1.50 as a customer favorite and a symbol of value. The company's co-founder, Jim Sinegal, once famously said that if anyone tried to raise the price, he would "kill them." 6. Lost your card? Just go to the return department and have them print out a new one. And anytime you want a new picture... just ask. read more

Slow and disorganized checkout. Staff did not know what was going on. Cannot recommend

Worse Costco I've ever been to. Was told wrong information about the order of my Whole pizza was told it'll be 5mins and it's 30mins! Even when I stood in line for it. Even if you're BuSY don't give us consumer wrong information and lie to us. We pay our membership and this is WHY I switched to Sam's Club. read more

The people who work there are indifferent to customer service but that's expected when they're unionized. They carry little Asian items than other Costcos which I find odd considering the demographic. The purchasing manager might have a bias? The prode there is also more expensive than other Costcos which is a bit odd. read more

I came here today early and they employee at the door made me wait outside because I'm not an executive member. I understand he is only doing his job. I came early so I could find a spot to park close to the entrance. I finally found one. I use the ADA parking and all the ADA parking was full by the executive members by the time I arrived. Either get more ADA parking or let the older people in earlier who use the ADA parking. I don't think I should have to pay an executive card just to get a ADA parking spot. read more

Costco Wholesale in Tech Center Poway is like stepping into a parallel universe where shopping is an adventure, and the carts have a mind of their own. You go in for a pack of paper towels and somehow leave with a 72-inch flat-screen TV, a 5-gallon tub of hummus, and an industrial-sized jar of pickles you'll never finish. The samples? Oh, they're a dangerous game. You can't just grab one and walk away no, you must engage in the unspoken dance of pretending to look at something else before doubling back for round two (or three). It's practically an Olympic sport trying to squeeze your cart through the aisles without taking out anyone's shins. But honestly, there's something satisfying about leaving with a cart full of random bulk items that somehow feel necessary. read more

This Costco is like going to Santa's Workshop in the North Pole. There is everything you can imagine here....Gas Station, Tire Center, Propane Tank fill station, Car Wash, plus all the normal stuff. So you could get a tire rotation, fill your propane tanks, wash your car, get gas, while eating a $1.50 hot dog with a fountain drink. The parking issues you might see at most Costcos are not an issue here. I might have to park a little further away but I never have any problems finding a spot down by the tire center. The downside is that this Costco is in the middle of nowhere. I feel like I'm driving forever to get here. That is actually the only downside. This Costco is pretty awesome. read more

Went here to pick up a prescription and decided to do some light shopping. Decided to use the self service checkout and the first item that I scanned was their package of croissant. The machine told me to remove the item after I scanned it which I did because maybe the weight was off? Anyways, scanned more items and of course I bought the 2 pastries that I needed help assistance with from the Costco worker. The female Middle Eastern Costco worker came up to assist and counted the items that I scanned and I told her that I scanned the croissant and it told me to remove the item. She grabs the package of croissant that I had in my shopping cart and placed it on the "weighing area" just to have her override the item again because she said "the croissant needs to be here". But does it really though because if she thinks that I'm trying to steal a package of croissant after I scanned it already she is tripping. Have a "skip weighing" option on your self service checkout Costco, this interaction from your worker was unnecessary, seriously. read more

I purchased 2 new IPhones the 16 and 17,I was quoted a price for $300 for one and $105,I shipped out the 2 I phone 13s, and I received a text saying they won't pay for the 2 phones!!!!! The in store T-Mobile employees at Poway cost co gave me a price there was nothing wrong with either phone I just wanted to upgrade. So beware Poway Cost co has allowed A scam T-Mobile booth inside there building shame on Cost co you would think paying for a membership had some protection against companies like this T-Mobile!!!!No stars read more

Costco online screwed me this Black Friday season. On 11/27 I ordered a product from Costco online. The item was in stock and on sale. Found it weird though as they charged me then credited me back. I called to get order status on 12/3, a day before it was supposed to arrive, and the status said it was on track. On 12/4, I got an email that my order was cancelled as the item is no longer in stock. My problem is that I could have bought the product from various other retailers, all of which had some sort of sale. This is an apple product so quite expensive. Instead I missed out on all sale opportunities and Costco can do nothing for me. Bunch of BS. Next time I'll order from a more reputable company. read more

Costco is known to have a large variety of food, whether it be fresh, dried, refrigerated, packaged, or frozen, and all kinds household supplies, furniture, appliances, clothing, books, toys, beverages, electronics, etc. Whatever you can think of, Costco is likely to have it, in larger quantity and at a cheaper price! I recently bought a 75" TV around the Thanksgiving holiday and got a great deal. I was extremely happy with my purchase and really didn't think it could get any better. Well guess what?!?! It got even better!! Yesterday I received the attached letter and $30 gift card from Costco. It turns out they negotiated a better deal and passed the savings onto their members. This was totally unexpected, and it just goes to show how customer-oriented the business is! Thank you, Costco, for being so considerate! I wanted to give a special shout-out to the employees at the Costco located on Tech Center Drive in Poway, CA. They are always extremely helpful and friendly, and I've never had a negative experience with them. This is customer service at its best! read more

Costco: one of the places where you can get a super cheap but big ass pizza. Then you can get 1.50 hotdog with a drink, and big ass chicken bake! Their swirls are perfect for summer! Also, perfect place to go if you wanna get full from free food samples! Hahaha They also have already made food for the lazy ones, like me (sometimes). They have Ribs, Rotisserie Chicken, Sushi, Salad, Pasta, etc. Only 4 stars because parking can really be a pain in the ass. Also, they're not really as affordable as they used to. Some of their produce are close to being rotten. I was not impressed by that. read more

I love going to this Costco but this one lady ruins my shopping day for my family. Everyone knows this bitch! She is the sample lady for chow mein. This lady is so discriminating towards kids. I don't understand the attitude. This lady ignores my child and feeds her friend. When it was her turn, she decided to act like she was still cooking. My kid stood in front of her like a kid in a candy store for 10 minutes, and still nothing. I was standing 5 feet from her and could no longer bear it. I confronted the lady, and she was shocked and denied everything. I went home and told my family and everyone knew this lady. I'm pissed. I'll be back next time and post your ass. Parents beware. The lady is vulgar to kids. Keep your kids close. She made my girl feel rejected and sad. I know it's foot but try to tell you 10 year kid that who love to eat noodles read more

The workers here are kind, bright, and helpful. Products are never out of stock. The parking lot is somehow ALWAYS FULL but people aren't too bad. I recently had some produce that spoiled within a day of purchasing and the return process was so quick and so easy. (Which was impressive because it was right after the holidays and YOU KNOW that department has been swamped). 10/10 love this place and I drive out of my way to always shop at this one. read more

This is the Poway Costco on Scripps Poway Parkway. This has one of the better food court set ups in my opinion. They have rolling garage door options when weather becomes an issue. Their hot dog game is on point, their pizza game lacks the combo pizza dreadfully. As for the interior, I think their produce section is lagging behind performance wise. The fruit seems to be bruised and old sometimes. Big clothing selection area and otherwise a great Costco read more

I like this Costco - I have not have a problem here besides the one time where lines just went insane back in March 2020 as there was a panic over toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Costco wasn't the only one, it was plenty of other stores that also went through the same thing. Staff has always been very cheerful during my visits here, which is every week/every other week or so. Parking does not take too long to find, probably longer if you go during rush hour. Mandatory to wear a mask upon entering, and they sanitize the carts nearby the door. Lines go through pretty quickly and also they have plexiglass set up at the cashiers. read more

This Costco is generally slower than you average Costco and there is a reason why. The service is absolute garbage here. Me and my partner went to check out, cashier named Glenn scans my partners Costco card, after Glenn rings up our order I scan my credit card. This is how we have paid at Costco for the last 5 years with 0 problems, but Glenn took issue with this because I used my credit card instead of my partner. Glenn began to berate us. I guarantee if we had been a straight couple Glenn would have never cared. Absolute garbage store. read more

Possibly the best Costco in SD. It's the same size as all the other Costcos but because it's not in the center of a busy area, it's a little less busy. There's always parking and never a super long line. There's also multiple ways to enter and exit, you never get stuck waiting at an intersection. They do have a gas station but it's actually closer to the Home Depot so the gas line will not impact any traffic for actual parking. read more
