This Costco is awesome & easy access two ways, off the I-17 North or South bound (exit Yorkshire & turn left, go through lights & turn left at 27th Ave ..... or, turn right while youre on the frontage road, between Yorkshire & Union Hills, to enter on the gas station side). The gas station is busy during rush hour start & end, or on weekends, but the lines move quickly. Gas pumps quickly which means their filters are clean, & Costco gas is ALWAYS 10-30¢ cheaper/cleaner product, than any normal chain - REMEMBER, you need a MEMBERSHIP, for entry or gas, though. Costco employees inspect the pumps & card readers monthly, to make sure everything is SECURE & Ive never seen compromises come from Costco, no skimmers in their card readers (I worked that crap all day, for a giant bank, so I know what Im saying). Anyway! Absolutely giant parking lot that fills to the brim on the weekends or before holidays, but get there early or weekday & no problem! Inside flows as it should, w/ non-food first, mixed w/ clothing (small section of Womens clothing but Ive found some super cute sparkly tops here, many times, & only at this location), books, swing over to bakery & alcohol, cold foods - meats (want Buffalo? You got it!). Costcos meats are excellent quality & you pay for it, but unlike the normal grocery store, their meats are not dyed red, filled w/ worms, or held together by "meat glue" (look it up on YouTube & youll never wanna buy from standard grocers again!) Seafood Roadshow is there sometimes &/or awesome samples. You want a big plump, juicy, & flavorful rotisserie chicken for $4.99? COME TO COSTCO!!! Want that same thing only already deboned & shredded? COME TO COSTCO!!! Walk through to non-foods like chemicals & dog food - Costco prides itself of safe dog cookies, food, & beds, your puppy will love! A huge soft fluffy dog bed for $20? Unheard of at pet stores, more like $120! Awesome prices for cases of water, paper products & their Kirkland brand is not like a "bleh" "store brand," Kirkland covers high quality products & yummy food! Start heading to frozen foods & the dairy case - 3 large containers of Almond Milk for $7 - SUPERB DEAL! Next is canned good & 100 pound bags of rice, for all you RESTAURANT SUPPLY shoppers. Now were finishing off w/ cereal & pharmacy stock. Inside the Costco is a tire center, photo processing, eyes/glasses Optometrist, & pharmacy. Pharm hours are a bit limited, from 10am-7pm, so depending on your work hours, & their prices on prescriptions arent anything to jump up & down about - Id say standard to Walgreens or, ya know. Cashiers are hella fast, efficient, knowledgeable, & real/funny. The food stand gets super backed up as well as the sitting area & you cant maneuver your cart into the inner seats, but you can take your booty home w/ you, so its cool. One more thing, huge bouquets of plump & huge floweries? Get a FREAKING HUGE PILE OF BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS, for...........$20! No other stores can offer what Costco does!!! Memberships are so worth it too; Ive been doing the $110 Executive Membership for a few years now, because of the 2% cashback rewards, which helps me pay for the renewal, w/ the cash back credit, or just deposit the check into my bank account, for extra funds! WhooooO!

*** Auto Service Center *** I bought a battery when I was in a small town from the only place that took everyone else out, ends in ART and I took it back as it was within warranty. Of course after waiting on the phone for over 20 minutes and their service center not picking up I arrived and hung up. I got back to the service center to figure out what type of credit I was due for. The ever so kind service guy said well we need the battery for 90 minutes to charge... and we close in five minutes, plus if it doesnt hold a charge we have to call a service manager to approve the credit. So I left with a still DEAD battery. I showed up to Costco 5 minutes past 7pm. I did not realize they closed at 7 but the door was still unlocked, I asked the guy, I think CJ, RC or JC sorry I cant remember for a battery and he said NO PROBLEM! They even had their drawer cashed out and counted and he still took the cash and business with a smile! THANK YOU for this attitude and work ethic. Yes as others have said it crowded but isnt this a good problem... Appreciate you Costco, oh and yea its an Interstate battery, good stuff!

I moved here from Portland Oregon this is my third visit to this particular Costco. It is clean well laid out well organized and I have yet to find an employee who wouldnt drop what theyre doing and escort you to find what you need. Costco could certainly teach most other stores how to keep customers coming back through customer relations. I am also thankful that Costco offers assistance in loading orders into customer vehicles. So many of the things I have trouble lifting due to my age. Costco is just an outstanding brick and mortar store and I am so happy to know that my new home in Arizona has a Costco that I can visit. If I could give it 10 Stars I would. I thank you for being consistent and so very customer-oriented. But Im curious though do any of your employees ever have a bad day??? If they do Ive never seen it

Great store for bulk items. Pretty decent selection of alcohol. Being from New York, I love that they carry Magic Hat! They almost always have samples of their products throughout the store. The only reason Im giving it four stars is because some of the employees are a bit rough when boxing up the food at the register. Ive also noticed some employees will put heavy items on top of softer items that could easily become bruised or crushed. I also recently purchased expired Silk Almond Milk from this store. The expiration date was August 26th, 2017 - however, the milk was chunky and sour. I dont really blame Costco for this, as the other two cartons of milk I purchased were fine.

This location is NOT very handicapped friendly. I was there this past weekend and there werent any handicapped spaces available (partly due to volume of business, partly due to relatively few handicapped spaces). Then, once inside, I found there was a fairly long line of people waiting for an electric cart. That is inexcusable. With the size of Costcos, it is easy to travel 1-2 miles while shopping. Electric carts are a NECESSITY for handicapped people. Just in the few minutes before I walked out without shopping, several of the people waiting for an electric cart also got up, gave up and left.

Get your membership, get that discounted gas, and get more food then you possibly need! As long as you frequent the place enough, you definitely get your money worth. Aside from the groceries (and freebie food that you can almost substitute for lunch), there is a lot of other cool stuff they stock the shelves with and usually useful and great deals. For example, they had a Manfrotto camera backpack for just $50! (A good deal from a usually pricey camera company). Just try to come when the crowds are low, as it can become busy.
