It’s a warehouse-store. True warehouses do NOT sell to the public. Stores do. Warehouse describes the building, not what they do.

I've mentioned this on previous posts but the reason I go to Costco is their bakery, meat department, Kirkland generic brand, and return policy.

I have yet to find any store that comes close to Costco for the things above, especially in quality. Maybe they meet one or two of them, but that means I have to run all over the place to get what I need. I'd rather just make a trip once or twice a month.

As for a gallon jugs of mayonnaise, the things I buy there are either non-perishable or can be portioned out (if need be) and frozen.

Wesley Chapel Costco is 152,000 sf.

Clermont Costco is 152,000 sf.

Salt Lake City, Utah Costco is 235,000 sf and is the largest warehouse to date.

The average size Costco is 147,000 sf.

I don’t care how big the stores are. Until they ban the sample ladies and 6-member families roaming aisles, moving around stores will remain difficult. lol!!

Not complaining. I’m semi-retired and, like another poster, will now need and golf cart trailer AND a bigger garage.

Lol. I can't argue with any of this.

At least they are very good at moving people through the cash registers lines though. I was down in Clermont a couple weeks ago and they now have roving cashiers that intercept people in the line who only a few items and ring them up while they're standing there.

Love the samples. Very often we like it and buy and enjoy based on samples.

Costco stores are not "stores", they are called warehouses. They range in size from 140,000 SqFt to 230,000 SqFt.

Somehow they have made us believe that we should operate in fear…fear of shortage.

I stand corrected. Thanks!

Exactly how I feel when I walk thru their doors. If I can find a parking place!

Will it be cart accessible? Wish Culver’s and home Depot were.
