These people are the best around and prices are really well and have relationships with everybody that works here we like family now. I helped like 50 plus brands out and directed them all this way.

Whoa I had driven down this road many times but totally missed glances over here. Maybe I looked…read moreonce but thought it wasn't for the public. You see US Foods is one of the big wholesale food distributers that restaurants big and small use. They will deliver big loads of goods whether food or supplies right to the restaurant, usually on pay terms so no cash is handled. And for busy restaurants this is a must, as they constantly need raw goods coming in weekly if not daily. This is the first time I saw a 'US Foods' store. I think they took over something else. But it is a big store/space where almost everything is in bulk and/or wholesale form. For the home cook there is really nothing here that would fit their needs/kitchen unless you like to buy in bulk. 20 - 50 pound bags of beans, sugar or flour is usually just too much for an average Joe to carry to the car, let alone store in a home pantry. But if you like to entertain/cook for a large group like a big birthday, a bbq outing or big holiday get-togethers, then this place may serve you a purpose. I browsed one day and got a good feel for the place and here are my observations. If you go into the fresh produce area or the meat/dairy areas, you will have to go into a refrigerated room. The whole room is about 35 degrees so if you go in there in shorts and/or a t-shirt, then you will not be able to stay in there for too long. Produce not really extensive but you will be able to find some basics. Some things are in cases/big bags but not everything. Actually lots of things in smaller packaging like 2-3 pounds which is doable for a home fridge/usage. I'd say the offerings here are somewhat similar to what you could get at Costco. Meats are a mixed bag. Lots of processed meats like deli meat in whole form. Lots of cheese too but much too bulky for a home fridge. There are pork and beef but all in big/whole chunks. Nothing will be cut into steaks. Big packs too like minimum 10 pounds or more. But if you're cooking for a big group, you're gonna need a minimum of 10 pounds so this may be a draw for me. The bad is for the beef selection, even though the pricing did seem good, there is no 'choice' grade. They use 'select' grade here, which is a notch down from choice. But if you're just braising or slow cooking then this grade would be just fine. Costco only serves 'choice' grade or higher so theirs is more premium. Pork is fine here, I got some pork tenderloin in 2 packs, which is one of the smallest packages I saw, ideal for home usage. Good selection of restaurant ware. Pots, utensils and storage containers. This is a big draw for me as I love restaurant quality storage containers. They are sturdy, with tight lids and many are stackable. These are even hard to find at Costco and Smart and Final. On a weekday morning there is zero traffic here, complete opposite of Costco. Now this is more geared towards restaurants, but knowing if I can get something here or Costco, I will choose this, as the parking and ease to get in and out is an amazing asset to me. I was gonna give them 3 stars for not really being friendly for home usage but given those certain occasions where I'm cooking for 10 or more people, then this place will get a heavy consideration. And drum roll please******no membership card needed. Open to the public. **cymbal crash**

I really appreciate the proximity of this location to my mom's house. Over the years, the store has gotten better and better. There's always parking whenever I've gone. It's also right next to Lakeshore, so as a teacher, I really appreciate the 2-for-1 whenever I come here. It is very organized and clean. You can find so many options for rice, flour, snacks, vegetables, frozen food, etc. There are samosas and mithai. Sometimes there are long lines because I think a lot of restaurant owners come here, but it typically goes fast. If you register your phone number, on your fifth visit, you can get a free samosa (it's pretty new, so I haven't been able to enjoy this yet, but my next visit is my fifth one since they started this promotion, so I'm looking forward to it).

I had prepared red envelopes to express appreciation for your hardworking staff, reflecting our long-standing business relationship. Upon arrival, I was pleased to see that your company had arranged a small buffet for employees. The warehouse staff were polite and exchanged festive greetings, creating a positive atmosphere. This reflected well on management and is worth acknowledging. However, an incident that followed severely disrupted what had been a pleasant morning. I must clearly identify that the staff member involved is the senior female employee from the back department responsible for vegetables senior lady ! This day she was standing their cut pork for customer and employee! she refused to provide proper portions to my employee, who was waiting in line appropriately. Instead, she directed her to take leftover scraps filled with excessive bone fragments. When I calmly asked for clarification, this staff member responded with a cold, impatient, and hostile attitude, demonstrating a complete lack of professionalism and basic respect. My employee feels like homeless need get her food ! As long-term customers and fellow business owners who consistently support your company, we expect fairness and respect, particularly during a festive occasion meant to reflect goodwill. As business operators ourselves, we understand that management culture directly affects reputation. What we witnessed today raises serious concerns regarding internal service standards and supervision. I respectfully request that management review this matter seriously and reinforce professional training to ensure equal and respectful treatment for all customers moving forward.

BTW - Best gas prices out of the Costcos. :) Well maybe I will still frequent it only for the gas... Just discovered a Cardenas Supermarket in Hayward next to both the Business Costco and regular Costco. I am going to add all that to my routine whenever I am in CA. Quality/Quantity - This location has really gone down hill. You have a dangerous parking and driving situation. And you keep expanding your parking lots; I think more expansions are coming?!?! Now to the inside.... Again, so many of the customers here are so rude, are you all ALWAYS in a rush?! Don't even try to get a sample?!?! No more self service check out... I wonder why (saracism). Lastly, the employees have to "toughen up" to deal with the current customers. Let's not even talk about the long gas lines. Atmosphere - It was a great convenient location for me as they have additional shopping across the street - Home Depot, Walmart, etc. Expanded parking lot, thank you! So parking was not only easier, but also smoother. It added an additional two ingress egress. Most importantly, the GENIUS that closed off the gas entrance from the mall entrance deserves a HUGE raise!! The line and flow to buy gas has improved significantly, thank you! This still holds true before 10am. Open 7 days a week, from 9am till 7pm or 8:30pm; see Yelp or their website. I'm an executive member, so I will ONLY visit this location before 10am. Service - Best return policies!! I am a self-service person, so I use your self service checkouts when available, which are NOT available any more... Departments available are: Bakery, deli, food court, gas station, tire station, pharmacy, optical department, hearing aids, etc. Price - The cheapest Costco gas prices in this area, cheaper than El Cerrito and the 2 Hayward locations. Other prices are consistent with Costco. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success at this location since 1987. Congrats on all your success since 1976, since Price Club. Now you are the 5th largest retailer in the world and #10 on the Fortune 500. 804 warehouses worldwide, with 558 in the US. 1980 - IPO. 1993 - Price Club and Costco merger. 1997 - Rebrand all locations to Costco. 2024 - 132 million members.
