My favorite Costco. It is for businesses, but you can get a lot of things that you would need bulk of. I get cleaning supplies and household items. There is also not as many people in this Costco as the regular Costco. The checkers are the fastest too, you don’t even need to take anything out of your chart. Some of the workers could be friendlier, but they can do their job fast and are great at the job. I do wish they had more cart returns in the parking lot because people tend to leave the carts in the ADA access spots.

Came in to buy a few things and when I walked thru the door I was amazed. First of all the store is super organized and clean! They have so much stuff its like walking into restaurant depot. I later found out that this specific costco is a business one. So if you are in the area own a business come to this one. Its not busy and you are in and out quick. The staff is super friendly. And not to mention the meat section is huge! Will definitely be coming back aging

Nice Costco. Came here during a lunch break for a stockup run. The location was well organized with the inventory organized in a manner that made sense.Check out lines were short and team members were helpful.The Target across the way has construction ongoing, so driving through the parking lot can get slightly confusing, but other than that, no issues.

Costco stopped carrying the bag of cream cheese packets that are so very convenient, such as for 1 bagel. Found them there, as well as sliced provolone which my Costco stopped carrying. Some items are less expensive. So very happy to have this option.

First time going to the Costco Business Center and was pleasantly surprised by the stuff I havent seen at my regular Costco.One of the items they sell is sausage crumble. If you make your own pizza, this is great for it.Speaking of pizza, the woman at the food court, was nice enough to customize my pizza for me. I love the cheese blend of the cheese pizza, but they dont use it on the Pepperoni Pizza. She, and Im sorry I dont remember her name, did the cheese pizza and then put the pepperoni on top. Awesome and thank you so much 😊

Best place ever to eat Japanese food. Miko the girl is Soo much fun to talk to . The cooks are funny and the crowd is authentic. There is some scary stuff to eat but if you stay on the basic chicken . Beef. Shrimp. Pork track. You should do fine.. I recommend this to anyone if they want to take a trip to the far east..

I was told to go to Costco Business Center for a portable AC. The one they have in this picture I know is good in that a friend of ours has one but I was looking for one and was told that there was one larger about $700. I suppose I need to go online at Costco.

I wish the regular Costco carried some of the items I get here. However, since they dont I go here for special deli meats and such. us they have foods in #10 cans and snacks the family likes in larger packaging. If they carried Booze and wine here they would get 5 stars.

Best thing about Costco Business is open at 7am!!!! Check the business hours before you go and be ready to see gigantic package of things that we dont see in a regular store.But you can get the basic fresh fruits and vegetables, and much more in the house size. Its worthy the experience 🙌

Love having a business center nearby. For me it is chicken thighs at $.75/#. But I find so many other things. My one issue is that the sale prices are not always consistent with the warehouses.

Normally we avoid Saturday trips here. We shouldnt have worried, the Costco system of selling a ton to per customer at the checkout in the least amount of time works even at stores closed on Sundays. Most customers still wore masks. This is a no frills store without vitamins by the bottle, makeup, and clothing.

I love that I can go at 7:30am when I get off work. Never crowded at that time in the morning. Only one drawback, they have different prices and sales than the regular Costco’s.

Great place to stock up on staples of life. No clothes, books, and such. But great selection of restaurant grade meats, cheese and cold cuts.Typical of Costco, the staff is professional and on their game. This isnt WalMart where the help can be less than the best.

I love Costco. I had never heard of the Business Center before. It really is amazing to see. It has the familiar Costco feel but lots of cool items gears to small businesses. Things that really stuck out to me where all the different types of meat and drinks. I definitely plan on making the trip to shop here more.

I come here mostly to get Andys thin mints and diet Pepsi. The mints are not stocked in any of the other Costco warehouses at all, and lately this is the only place I can find diet Pepsi. If you need restaurants supplies, or are stocking up your home pantry, this is a great place to go. Their meat selection and other refrigerated items are so broad that theres a warehouse size room thats refrigerated :-) bring your coat :-)

I always like to get a hot dog and it comes with a drink, refills are free. $1.50 plus tax. About $1.63 total. Dogs are beef and big. They have pizza also. Can call in at some COSTCO STORES TO GET WHOLE PIZZAS TO GO. Other food also available, prices reasonable. No huge lines at this outdoor to go restaurant. Also, you can buy big packages of hot dogs inside the store. But I think you may need a membership card. All different priced member cards. If you bring a guest with you just need 1 membership card. Okay, and no, I dont work for COSTCO‼️HAPPY SHOPPING ‼️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲👍👍

This Costco is the business (see what I did there) this is HEAVEN for a snack food junkie like myself. They carry different food and snacks than the regular Costcos and a bigger/different selection of drinks as well. As with any Costco it can get busy but the variety makes it totally worth it!! I love this place😂

Unique business focused Costco store. They sell large packs of food that a restaurant or business might need, however there are still plenty of options of youre just a regular consumer. No alcohol, clothing, or as much seasonal stuff as the regular stores but better selection on fresh, frozen, and pantry food.

Concession stand people were rude they had a I hate this job Tude. No smile no thank you. Well not from the employees anyway. We heard everyone in line say things like wow. What a negative attitude. And similar attitude. When a customer smiles & says thanks have a great day respond in kind is good here. If the customer is not in a positive mood responding in kind not so good but still be positive they may need it. And it is your job to try and please the customer they are your paycheck. God Speed to all

Always love going there, nothing excites the internal joy and happiness then buying in bulk. Need some potatoes, how about 50lbs, need 5 gallons of soy sauce, in stock. 1000 mint toothpicks that too. Dont forget a slab of pork belly with skin.Dont forget to enjoy their massive walk-in refrigerator. A comfortable 40° all day long.

Review №65

Most times its easy in and easy out. Because its a business center most customers have loads of things on their cart (s). That being said the checkout is usually quick and painless. This depends on what time you are shopping. It doesnt have many of the products that the consumer Costco would carry nor does it have the samples that crowd the regular stores.

Review №66

They do not have the beloved Costco alcohol selection sadly. I get it, its a business center focused more on restaurant and office supplies but it is California and many offices offer drinks for lunch or after work. It seemed to be less hectic and had better vibes than regular Costcos. Bottom line, I would still good here in the future for all of my household grocery shopping in the future.Other than that it has some really cool items and bigger bulk selections of meat and produce you wont find at other regular Costco centers. Looked like they had some really good commercial cooking appliances. They also have heaters in stock which is a big commodity currently with all of the outdoor dining. The non alcoholic drink selection seemed to be a lot better than other Costcos as well.The staff seemed to be a lot friendlier and more helpful than at the other Costcos as well. The door greater was happy to be there, people stocking were cheerful and happy, and the cashier made the process fun for everyone. I wish every Costco trip could be like this. Perhaps the customers are a bit easier to deal here, I dont know but whatever it is, it is working for them.

Everyone loves Costco. But the business center is slightly different. You can buy 32 pounds of sour cream, massive amounts of chicken, and commercial grade cookware here. It has many of the things you may normally find at Costco, minus any home stuff. Food, however, is offered in larger bulk on many items. The hours are also a bit different.

When you need a business supplies. Costco has a lot to offer. The business centers are open from 7am, a great way to start shopping and it is very convenient to shop here. There are items that you can only shop from Costco business centers and not on a regular costco stores that opens at 10am

Review №88

Business Center Costco is not for everyone. Youll find that this location is geared toward restaurants and mini-mart type operations. Dont think for a second that you can do your monthly household shopping here. Im always surprised by how many patrons come in expecting to find all their regular Costco items here. If you want to find a wide variety of snack foods in single-serving bags, candy, gum, mints, or a huge variety of soft drinks, this is your place. If youre looking for items to stock your large office with basic office supplies, frozen and non-perishable foods, coffee and tea, this is your place. Need to supply your deli? Need a dozen #10 cans of tomato sauce? Need four kinds of sweetener packets? Perfect place. They DO have a walk-up food concession here so you can still get that low-cost lunch item and a fountain drink here. Prices are the same as the retail membership sites.

It was just after the holidays. I needed a box of baby wipes and also got some bananas. I was unaware membership had expired 7 days before. The cashier wa so nice and tried to have his supervisor/manager approve the small transaction, yet the supervisot said NO. Ive been a customer of Costco for 10+ yrs never missed membership payment and could not believe supervisor didnt even try to help a loyal customer. Was very dissapointed and ended up going next door to Target intead and they were happy to take my cash.

I dont have a business but I love this place! There is large quantities of items so if you dont have a lot of room in you fridge/freezer I dont recommend, instead, Costo Wholsale. The prices are amazing! For example, the chicken thighs with bone in and skin is only 50 cents a pound and the container is 40 pounds! This place is a Christmas wonderland for all parties concerned!
