Costco

If I could live in Costco then I would! This place has everything you need and things you didn’t know you need.
Costco has it all. gas, oil changes, tires, vacation packages, pizza, Gouda, French wine, furniture, clothes… aw hell the list can go on! Yes, there is a small yearly membership fee one pays, but well worth it. Their customer service is top notch and haven’t came across any issues yet. I recommend hitting up their café… well pizza/​hot dog corner… before shopping.
For under $ 5 bucks you can feed 3 people… when was the last time you saw that in the city?!? It helps to have food in your stomach cause otherwise you will be coming home with a box of mini tacos the size of Africa. Weekends are packed here, but they have samples like nobody business on the end of each aisle. We always get our steaks, chicken, and salmon from here since the prices are a steal. Other great items here to get are chips, booze, and household items. Like everyone has said the gas is the cheapest you will find in the area.
I could rave about Costco for another 6 paragrahps, but you gotta just check it out your self. Once you enter Costco shopping anywhere else will never be as great.

I love my local Costco, the customer service is phenomenal! Went to return a gift, the girls at the return were über helpful but couldn’t get the job done. Then came their boss Louie who tried the various permutations and combinations to find the day the product was purchased and got it all sorted in matter of minutes.
Keep up the good work! !

I love you Costco!
But this review is for the ‘Hearing Aids’ center at this store. Excellent service, products and prices, and two amazing people who work there. My father interacted with both specialists. They were incredibly patient, and worked with him to find the right set of hearing aids. Also the ‘Costco’ brand here is top of the line. I don’t remember exactly — but it’s some German company that makes the best hearing aids. We didn’t go with the Costco brand, because my father liked something else better. But it was great to see them offering the highest quality products at great prices and great service. Hope this helps someone searching for hearing aids.

I almost hate to review this location as I want to keep it my little secret. I have been a member of Costco since they first ventured into the Chicago market. The first location was in Schaumburg, if memory serves.
The location on Clybourn, is the closest to my house, yet I would rather have a colonoscopy than shop there. The Ashland location is fantastic, it’s easy, in and out, the best of Chicago area Costco gas prices, great parking and friendly staff. Perhaps the management at Ashland could provide some training to Clybourn and help them deal with the difficult clientele. Until then, I hope my favorite Costco continues to shine.

Still a place I can’t live without, I’ve been buying their packaged hard boiled eggs. My first thought was who needs 24 hard boiled eggs? I guess I do, from a quick snack to egg salad, love the little sealed packages of 6 for freshness.
Who thinks ups this stuff? How did they know I needed it before I did?

This review only for costco pharmacy. The worst pharmacy I ever deal with, inexperienced workers and staff. It is shame on costco to keep this pharmacy open because it is affecting the entire reputation of costco. Avoid this pharmacy and go to more experienced pharmacy.

This is the Costco nearest Chinatown, Little Italy, and Pilsen. That means Chinese people come here to get ramen noodles and sesame oil in bulk, Italians come to get pasta and sausages in bulk, and Mexicans come to get giant tubes of Tajín and 24 packs of Modelo.
I used to make fun of my brother many moons ago for always declaring his love for Costco. Maybe it’s age or simply becoming a member a couple years back, but now, I get it. Costco is awesome. I don’t even have a big family. I just come to buy things I eat a lot. And toilet paper. Because I poop a lot. I also get gas here a lot.
Pun Intended.

If you live or visit this Costco frequently consider yourself blessed. This is the best Costco located in Chicago. First, their parking lot is HUGE (Donald Trump accent HUGE). They have two LARGE lots so there’s far less stress (have you been to the Lincoln Park one?) when it comes to parking your automobile. Second, being one of the newer Costco’s built in Chicago the interior food court is spacious and the interior feels less cramped than other stores. Third, there is a gas station and I’ve always had a friendly experience with their staff.

Usually I get a quick and attentive service. I went to the store on Thu 9÷3÷15 and checked out at 4:27 PM with long lines. The name of the cashier was Taketa and she was chit-​chatting with another employee while I was holding my membership card on my hand, I had to bring to her attention so she could scan my card. She was slow scanning my products and she started putting the item in the cart slowly. I had to tell her that I wanted a box and again, very slowly went to look for one. I end up putting my items in the box. I don’t mind helping them, when I see that they are really working and putting the effort.

We love this costco.
We always been a member if costco. And since we live close to this location, it’s like we automatically in love with this location.
The parking is huge. Other cost of have huge parking, but for me, in this location, it’s just easier to get parking near the entrance. (Trust me! 3 kids and only by myself, parking near entrance is just like I win a jackpot!)
The cashiers, the greeters and the people who check go the stuff are super nice to me and my 3 kids. My kids are actually feel like costco is their second home.
And since we go here more than twice a month, they actually know me (probably because my kids are obnoxious, love to scream that type of kids! Sorry Costco!).
Anyway, costco is dear to my heart :)

It is what it is… a cavernous warehouse that has very good deals on some items and pretty meh deals on others. Why 2 stars?
— Wine selection not as strong as other stores
— Customer service people have attitudes and will lie
— Line waits can be very long

This place gets packed on the weekend (so I’ve been told) so it’s best to try to get here during the week. I’ve been here a few times with friends on weeknights (as I don’t have a Costco card of my own) and it has all the regular things to expect from Costco.
I’ve gotten everything from some nice rubber mats for the car to chocolate covered strawberries and moscato for a girls’ night. Food is good, everything is cheap, and they seriously have nearly everything. In all earnestness, this is where you should block yourself in if there were ever to be a zombie uprising.
My friend suggests always getting a cart, as even if you only get 2 items both of your arms are going to be full already and you won’t be able to take advantage of any of their other bulk deals.

Quick and easy. While I’m sure the corporate office wishes this place was busier, that is the benefit of going here. Still no where near as busy as the one on Lincoln Park.
Get in, get out, get gas. What’s not to love? Staff is overly friendly and checkouts are always quick for the most part. Local traffic isn’t bad so getting in and out of the parking lot is a snap.
If you like Costco already, no reason not to go here.

I’ve been to this location 3 times, and 2 of the times something got screwed up. The first time I went, I bought gift cards, and it wasn’t until some days later that I realized I was given the incorrect ones (lesson learned — if you buy gift card there, which can be a great value, check the envelope before walking away from the poorly staffed customer service desk). Tonight when I was leaving, they discovered one of the items in my cart hadn’t been scanned and so I had to go back to have it properly rung up. I realize mistakes happen, but having been inconvenienced two out of the three times I’ve been here… I plan to avoid this location.
The reason I didn’t give it one star is that parking is more convenient than the other Chicago location.

I love costco and I am so glad this is my costco.
This Costco has a gas station, wine section, and tire shop. I
I’ve been to lots of costcos but this one has has plenty of parking and a gas line that is never very crowded.
Love it.

What makes this Costco different? It has kimchi, dried seaweed, Chinese sausage, and other asian-​friendly items. There’s a Korean pork jerky (bbq style) near the front that you absolutely must try.
If that hasn’t drawn you in, then you have to become a member just for the cheap gas.

Got my membership for this Costco when I moved here over the summer and I think, even though I maybe only go once a month or so, I’ve already earned back my membership’s cost in savings. Between the great deals on gas, savings on products bought in bulk, and, of course, the delicious pizza and hotdogs at the food court, my experiences here have been nothing but good.
Of course, it’s a pain that there aren’t any bags and you have to pay with a debit or check if you don’t have an American Express card, but it’s part of corporate deal, I guess. The free samples make up for it, if you get there early enough to grab ‘em!

I like this Costco way better than the Clybourn location, which is VERY crazy and hard to find parking.
I have been coming to this Costco since June, and while it has gotten progressively busier, I still like this location. Slightly smaller and less selection than the Clybourn one. I try to limit the amount of time I am here, because you can end up buying the entire store…
Gas station always has the lowest gas stations around.
Lots of samples flowing, even at 2:30PM! *Be careful of some of the fruit, some of it that we have bought expires VERY quickly, especially the berries.

Costco, I love you. I love your inexpensive huge whole pizzas. Every time I buy one, I think, «oh yeah! I can totally eat this whole thing with just one other person!»
Every time there is enough for at least two other people.
This Costco’s food court has made me pout by being so busy that they’ve messed up my pizza order about 3 times.
Hopefully I’ll learn my lesson and check my pizza before I leave the food court area.

I heart Costco. Back when it used to be called Price Club, I was already a fan. (Yup, I’m takin’ it back to the olé skewl). The gas is cheap (score!), there are usually free samples of food handed out, and best of all… you can get a hot dog and fountain drink for only $ 1.50. That price has not changed since I can remember. I mean… who does that!!!~ COSTCO! That’s who!!!
Costco is consistent with the high quality of their products. If I see something on sale, or if I see a product from a brand I’ve never seen… I’m still confident that if I purchase it and try it out, it will be a great buy. Not only do we save money by shopping here, but it’s such a great bargain for great quality products.
When in doubt, just buy the Kirkland brand if there’s a choice between that or another more well-​known brand name. You really can’t go wrong with it.
