St. Albert Costco continues to be my favorite location. No matter how long the lines (even at Xmas) I've never waited more than 10 minutes to check out. This location has propane - bonus! So so cheap compared to prefilled tanks anywhere else. Love the large parking spots - why can't all parking lots be like Costco? My favorite can't live without Costco item - Rotisserie chicken (especially the day old ones in the cooler for $2 off) - they make the BEST stock and soup in the instant pot! Also shout out to the pharmacy with the LOWEST dispensary fees in the province! See you soon Costco, real soon! PS *Bring back the lattes and cappuccinos in the food court!* read more

Finally got my Costco membership, after just tagging along with family members that had one. Was hesitant at first since it is just myself but there are some great deals here. PRO's Was looking for winter tires and they are much cheaper here than at the other tire stores. Bonus was they were even on sale from the regular price when I was looking. They carry both the 2 best winter tires, Bridgestone WS90 and Michelin Ice. If there are things that you go through lots of fast, you will find it cheaper to buy in bulk here. For myself that would be razors, spinach, and some of the meats and poultry. If you have a freezer even better. They gave some great ready to go food as well. And yes, the rotisserie chicken is a great deal and great for an easy and tasty dinner! Lastly, the best deal I love here and worth the membership alone is the gas or propane fill up. I have a fire table and a BBQ and have 3 propane tanks that need to be filled every summer. The cost to fill all 3 is about how much it would cost to fill 1 at most places! CON's Everything is mostly bulk so for a single person like myself I don't buy any fruits or things that could go bad fast. There never seems to be a down time, so always prepare for lineups. If you don't have much to buy, going thru the self checkout is faster. There is an annual membership cost either $60 or $120. But if you're like me and even just go for propane, you will find that you make back the cost from that savings alone. For a single person like me I still go buy some things at other grocery stores that I don't need in bulk, such as vegetables, fruits and naked goods. But I love going here to pick up bulk things that work out so much cheaper and will lasts me weeks or months. read more

I am a 16-year-old girl going to pick up groceries for my mom. She wasn't with me, but I was using her membership and a lady at the till decided to yell at me over this. She threatened to take away my card and keep in mind. It's just me and my friend and she's full on yelling at me as a middle-aged woman. I had no idea that you could not use other peoples memberships, but it was my mom was picking up groceries for her and this lady yelled over this. No matter how respectful I was saying that I'm sorry and I had no idea she continued to tell me how unexceptionable it was. Despite any policy's or rules that I didn't know about it does give employees the power or the right to be yelling at a teenager trying to pick up groceries for her parents that are to busy a city trip. read more

Costco always has what you need, if you want large containers or qualities of paper towels or laundry detergent last large family a month or one person several months. That why I shop here one time, once a month. And the bill shows it adds up quickly. Staff are very efficient working in two person teams cashier and helper or loader of cart. Gas bar gives you a discount at the pump and the liquor store rounds out your shopping experience at Costco. read more

I have to say that I love Costco in general. It seems that I'm throwing my money away if I don't buy items at Costco. Most of the Costco product is high-quality and reasonably priced, and the majority is large volume. Great for families, probably not that practical for single people or couples. Costco has a fantastic return policy that makes it easy to return items purchased instore or online. Probably one of my favorite things about Costco is the ample and roomy size of the parking spots. This location has a gas bar and propane filling station. The unleaded gas and propane are priced very well all the time. I don't know if anyone can touch Costco on price for propane. Also at this location is a tire center, a food court, a hearing aid center, an optical department, a pharmacy, and a photo center. If you shop here enough it is also worthwhile looking into the executive membership which allows you to earn 2% cash back on purchases. Our family buys enough here every year that we get enough cash back to pay for our Costco membership as well as getting extra cash back. It doesn't matter that it's four times the regular size because it's half the price..most of the time. The only issues that I really ever have with Costco are that they don't reliably carry all the products. You may get hooked on a product only to realize it's not stocked in the warehouse anymore on your next visit. Also on busy days it seems that Costco has a hard time keeping shopping carts available to use in store. (without having to retrieve one from the parking lot) read more

One of the better Costco locations and probably my favourite to shop at but it's at the very outer edge of St. Albert so it's not very convenient for Edmontonians. The target demographic are people that don't live in the city and come here to stock up on supplies. Or maybe they work in the city but drive home to Morinville and this location is en route. There's a gas station and Costco liquor store which makes it a more unique location. It's quite large even for a Costco. The parking lot is a little challenging to enter and exit but I feel that's the same for every Costco. We had the executive membership that gives back 2% of all purchases but it's not really worth it unless you buy over $2500 per year. Most members are probably meeting this threshold and we did last year but I'm not sure we will again. If you decide to make a big purchase here then you can upgrade your membership to executive at that time and get the credit on that large item. (TV, computer, phone, tires, etc) read more

The gas bar employees are absolutely awesome. I am a paraplegic and drive with hand controls. One day the attend saw me struggling getting out of my van through my side ramp. He gave me the gas bar number and said in future if I don't see an attendant to call the number and they will jump to the pump to help me. I believe his name was Robert. Absolutely awesome customer service Thank you Costco read more

What can I say...this is my kind of party!!! I am a mom and government worker so this biz is my tribe. Why? Why not? Those are the big questions where everything is big!!! Isles and isles of good products and good prices is too big for the sign so they had to call these stores Costco. When I come here it is for grocery shopping typically but sometimes it is for company BBQ's, other times it is for Christmas or Party planning and once in awhile it is for momma fun and supper time. Keep me in the loop for seasonal decor and planting season because I cannot miss those angles on my year round fun either.....can you see a pattern? All the time all the fun!!! Service is great all around.....well I have had trouble with electronics and concierge so if I had to do it again I would just bring it in for them to deal with instead of calling. Front door service is hard to kick out for their customer service style. read more

Finally made it to the new Costco in St Albert - so happy to have one nearby! So much goodness inside a Costco, so many terrific meats and veggies and foods to try, and their bakery section always promises the tastiest goodies ever. Like most, this one includes clothing, books, jewelry, household products, etc, plus a pharmacy, hearing centre, optical,photos, but also a tire centre, liquor store and large gasoline pump area. Visited on an early Friday evening and there were no traffic jams. Nope, don't mean outside in their spacious parking lot, but INSIDE --- people were actually not pushing carts in wild traffic patterns, no one ran into my heels, and a nice couple stopped me and my grandchild to tell us where the ice cream samples were being handed out! Only ran into one minor problem - the water (all pre-set) in the washroom was too hot for my grandchild to wash her hands. Other than that, love having one of our favourite places so close to home and will be back often. read more

Let's face it - Costco wins half the battle by their cheap cafeteria food and aisle samples. I came to this particular Costco to get a break from the other ones and I wasn't disappointed. The cheap deals, bulk pickles (and everything else), cheap slice of pizza when I was finished.. Bliss. Costco for sure entices me to make more purchases than usual and I always end up with a bill well over a couple hundred dollars; I'm not complaining. I've gotten almost everything from Costco. Paddle boats are good quality, tents are cheap and sizeable, vacuums work great, and who doesn't need 38729 razors?! Kind of makes me wish a dirty, hungry, saskwatch. read more

I like going to Costco, they have great deals and always have lots to offer. They have home made ready meals that you can buy and bring home. I have yet to try one that I don't like. Seriously they are delicious. They have electronic department, clothes, books, bakery, flowers, tires, jewlerys, optometrist and even a place for your hearing aid. They sell fridge, freezer, cooking tools, garden stuff, garage stuff, basically anything you need is pretty much there and at a good price and quality. In Christmas time they sell a lot of gifts ideas for all the family and on Halloween it's costumes for the kids. Once you know the store it's easy to find what you want. They have a lot of cashiers and it usually goes fast enough. Don't go on Sundays afternoon they're usually busy because of last minutes buy for the week. I definitely recommend this place. read more

St.Albert Costco is the friendliest and best service I've ever had at any Costco. Love it here.

It's Costco, the place where you can buy a gallon of ketchup and a 3lb can of tuna. Not everyone needs that much ketchup but there is so many other great deals here. Costco's in house brand Kirkland is always a reliable quality brand. For example, did you know that Kirkland brand batteries are rated just under Duracell in of quality but at a much lower cost? You might find a whole host of tempting products. They also have a wide variety of items for sale online. Costco is one of the few places where you can buy a roast, tires, a quad, and windows for your home installed! You might find your bill a bit higher at checkout (don't go shopping there when you're hungry lol) but you'll definitely save money in the long run. Did you know that they haven't raised the price of &1.50 for their concession hotdog for over 20yrs? Who knew? I'll definitely be back. read more

This is my favourite location... and not only because it is within walking distance of my house. The layout is completely different than the southside one, so that took some getting used to. But I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes in line, so who cares that I have to go to the other side of the store for bread? The staff always seem ridiculously happy here too. read more

Best Costco in the capital region. They take all of my monies... Produce isn't great, and I won't buy their hard goods anymore, but the rest of the grocery items are great. read more

Always a fan of Costco. Can get a little crowded on the weekends, but that just shows its popularity! Lots of great bargains in bulk;)

Hi Costco. For years I have shopped at Costco I still do but I find I am purchasing less and less when I go. 1. Kirkland brand sorry I want kraft cheese or Armstrong slices you now give me no choice I have to purchase yours but it molds faster. You use to supply the best scalloped potatoes Idahoan they are gone again no choice so I have to purchase elsewhere. Your potatoes and veggies are not staying as fresh as they use too so again I have to go elsewhere. Costco use too be a grand place too shop and I would have given it at least four stars. But why not give choices. Are you scared you won't sell Kirkland products. Choices make your customers happy read more

Would like to give a shout out to the great staff at my Costco. Every time I'm there I receive excellent service! A specific example was recently I called the store regarding a floral request. The personnel in the Admin office passed on my request in a very timely manner & Helen from Floral contacted me back in less than an hour!!! So helpful & pleasant!!! Thanks!! read more

New place! Big. Already very busy. Great food as always. Great prices. Has an attached liquor store! I hate line ups that don't move. And It's a pain to get out of to head south. But I'd prob go back read more

While I love their return policy and their prices, they have horrible customer service. And they NEVER offer for my stuff to be boxed, I always have to ask and sometimes am told that they have none left even though I can see boxes in the carts by the washrooms. read more

This is my favourite of costco location. The layout of the store is nice. And compared with locations, like Sherwood Park, they have more cash registers open so the lines don't seem to be as long as other locations. And the cafeteria seems to be quite efficient compared to other locations. There is a good amount of parking so that isn't an issue either. read more

Always parking, not like most where you drive forever and follow people with their carts to get a spot. Lines are never too bad and it is kept clean and neat. I have never seen the clothes all over the place and disorganized like it is in most of the Edmonton warehouses. Love Costco for their return policies, never have had a problem with a return here. read more

St. Albert Costco is great! I am very impressed with their floral dept---any bouquets I have purchased are very reasonably priced and long lasting!!!! read more

Love having a Coscto in St.Albert! Plus it's nice'n clean. I also purchased my 2 pair of glasses their too after I went to their in house optician:) read more

I was completely appalled with the service at the tire centre. One, you cannot make an appointment if you already own tires and that was the least disappointing moment of the whole trip. The most infuriating feature of the tire centre was the condescending, disrespectful customer service desk person (if you could even call what he did "service") talking down to me and interrupting when I was asking a question. I'm completely astonished that Costco even allows this guy to talk to customers. Watching him talk to other tire techs and bitching about the customers while I was waiting for service has decided I will definitely not be back, and would rather pay extra to have my tires installed than deal with that heinous service. read more

I like this store because it's clean, well stocked, and there seems to be a lot of staff on the floor. Although, I find aisles to be a bit too small, especially during busy hours, and the last time I came in the cashier was incredibly rude. I understood that it was busy, because I also work at a retail food chain as a cashier; however, the cashier was haphazardly throwing my groceries to the point where my purchases were being toppled over. I, too, bag items at my job, but I would never throw items out of the potential of them breaking open. I'd come back to this store, but I'd be careful of which cashier I would choose to ring me through. read more

Love this store. Never a lineup at the tills as they always have lots of cashiers on. Wait is always less than 5 minutes at the longest.

For years, I heard friends and family rave about Costco and their products and especially about their excellent customer service. I was in the market to buy four winter tires, so when St.Albert opened up a store, I decided to buy a membership. I compared prices at other St.Albert retailers, and Costco was "hands down" the cheapest price. I made an appointment and my tires were installed within 1.5 hours. Perfect! I was told to return after 40 km for a torque verification. Again, this was perfect. I drove away and realized that the "low tire pressure" symbol was still illuminated on my dash, so I returned within minutes and Julius came out into the Costco parking lot to assist me. He told me to go home and that the symbol would probably turn off. I didn't want to go home and have to come back another time, so Julius told me to drive around in the Costco parking lot, and the light would probably go off. Well, it didn't. I returned to the tire centre within minutes. Julius came out with his "black box", checked all four tires and the "low tire pressure" symbol still would not go out. He got down on his knees, took his "little black box and plugged it underneath my steering column. I am not sure what he did, but the "low tire pressure" symbol no longer appeared on my dash. I had never seen a mechanic do such a thing. But anyhow, I drove away and went home. The next morning, I backed out of my garage, drove a few meters and noticed a very loud noise. I backed up onto my driveway. To my surprise, I had a flat tire on the front driver side. I realized that I would be late for work, so I had to call a taxi. I arrived at work late and it cost me $25.00 for my cab ride. Knowing that Costco opened at 10:00 a.m., I started calling. The phone rang and rang and rang. Nobody was answering at the tire center. I finally got through at noon. I asked for Julius and he came to the phone. He remembered me from the night before. I told him what had happened. His response was "I guess you drove over a nail on your way home last night" I replied, "I highly doubt it. The chances of having a flat tire within blocks from home are very slim". He then said, "There's lots of construction around Costco". I then said, "How can you help me with my flat tire?" His response was "Don't you have an uncle or a brother who can change your flat?" I said, "As a matter of fact "I do, but it's not their responsibility to fix my flat. I just bought 4 new tires and I think it's Costco's responsibility to help me". He said, "Just get your car here and we'll help you." I then said' "How can I get my car to Costco when I have a flat tire?" Julius was stumped. He really had nothing more to say. So I asked him one more time if Costco could help me with this problem and he said "no". So, I took another taxi back home at the end of my work day. The mechanic advised me that the valve stem on the tire wasn't tight. That's why my tire was flat. So, the next day, I called Costco..............many many times. Nobody answered the phone. I have tried calling a number of times, but I still cannot get through. I decided to go to the store and I was told that Julius was not working. So, instead of using up my valuable time, I decided to stop calling. It's unfortunate that my experience at Costco was a bad one. Will I continue to shop at Costco. Most definitely. I love their products. Would I ever return to their tire center? Most probably not. It's really unfortunate, but I blame Julius for this one. Not Costco. read more
