Review №1

The worse interview process I been through at this Costco. I was called by Karina last week. She was the worse supervisor I encountered. I was scheduled at 215 on Tuesday. I came in early at 2 pm sat down. Their were three people ahead of me. I sat patiently waiting. Karina never made eye contact with me never told me to wait never said one word to me. I noticed a Caucasian guy got the job which I was happy for him. I saw that José and Karina came up to this person putting all their effort on him. They did not tell me one word just ignored me I felt discriminated. I waited an hour and I got no notification. I left after waiting so long. I was so upset. I called Scott the assisting manager told him what happened. He told me if I was willing to come in for an interview which I agreed to. We both agreed that Karina would not be interviewing me. Thursday I was set for an in interview for real this time. I saw Karina was there, and I was confused because I told Scott that I didn’t want Karina to interview me which he agreed. Guess what happens? Karina was in the interview alongside with Tiffany. I was upset. Karina asked me what happened Tuesday? I told her that i waited an hour since she completely ignored me which she didn’t own up to it or say sorry. Karina was on her phone during the interview process, no eye contact, just rude. I realized this is not the job for me. Karina is one of the biggest asswholes I ever been interviewed by. I can’t believe they hire these kinds of people. Scott is a liar too didn’t do as he was told. Shady company and business. Jose is a shady employee too. Funny thing is that when the interview was over I was lied to saying they were would review the applications and I told them that usually they ask me for another interview on another day which Tiffany and Karina lied.

A fun perk compared to the more popular forms of Costco stores. They have a far more diverse offering of meats, snacks and drinks. However, theyve dramatically reduced their offerings of commercial kitchenware over the years.

First theres a gas station behind the warehouse. If you own your own business this is the place to go for discount or wholesale prices. There are four roles candy alone. The meats and vegetables are in a separate room that is kept around 34 degrees. Very good choice a products. Even has lamb and goat by the whole.

Be more consistent with checking to see if EVERYONE has a Costco card before entering...EVERYONE

Great that it’s open early, however make sure you check expirations as I bought something expired, live too far from the location to be bothered with returning it in person. Called and asked for an over the phone refund, received quite a bit of backlash from representative.

As always, items were well organized and labelled for easy identification. Easy, availability of wide ranging items and, most of all big savings.

There are products that you only find at a business center costco available for those that love to cook or have a restaurants to keep going. This type of Costco stores will not be as busy as the regular locations and nor do they offer samples, which may be why people are not stopping by for a free lunch.

I used go here but not anymore ever since ANA started being there. That lady never allowed us to buy stuff in pallets. I been shopping to this Business Costco for years and its never been a problem buying pallets of cup noodle soups, nesquik, 2Liter sodas etc.. Stop coming here for that reason that lady never let us buy stuff. Also, she so rude when asking for help. Gave her many chances but never again ever coming back here. We are just trying to buy stuff in bulk. Thats the main reason i used to come here to buy stuff for my business. Isnt that the point? Sorry for my bad English

Today I was not allowed into this store with my dog ​​Chihuahua. I showed my dogs Animal Support ID and was deployed at the entrance and not allowed to enter. Until now, I have visited all nearby stores such as Costco, Sams Club and others and have never had any problems. Terrible place.

We call this the secret Costco because there are usually no lines. The selection of products overlaps but its different than in the main warehouses. If you want larger quantities this may be the place to go. For consumer items youre better off at the main warehouses.

Geared for businesses but also great for other shoppers. Many items not found in regular Costco stores can be found here. For example short supply all purpose or bread flours including yeast are fully stocked. Costco prices of course are hard to beat.

These people forgot to give me my items even when confirmed & they still had no consideration of honoring me as a business Costco member to even give me any fresh items even after the fact they had kept my items; because store was closing & it was a 4 day holiday a couple months ago, i didnt get my 3 more baskets full of groceries til maybe 2 weeks later.... I was angry, i probably could sue them...

Love COSTCO Business Center! If all you are looking for is food, toilet paper, and paper towels and not the other stuff they sell at Costco like furniture or beauty products or clothes then this is the place. They have more variety on the drinks, more variety on the snacks. You can get in with your regular Costco card and there are no lines most of the time.I shouldnt say all this if I want to keep it empty lol.

Because I am a business owner I have the need to go to Costco business Center in Hawthorne and I just had the worst experience ever. I bought heavy items and needed help to load them up to my car. I asked three members and all three kept passing the buck to someone else. The majority of the customers who shop at this Costco are business owners. If we had employees like these we would be out of business. They need to be retrained and know what customer service really is.. This is ridiculous. The security guard had to help me because nobody else was around after asking many times. Thank you Hany for your help.

If youre a Costco fan like me, the Business Costco as I refer to it, is a completely different experience. It is open to all members of Costco but what makes it different is the focus of the merchandise shifts away from consumer to business needs.That means no clothes or books but it does have individual snacks meant for counter or vending sales instead of the massive single bags. You can also get things found in a commercial kitchen or restaurant from pots and pans to utensils, tablecloths, place settings and even kitchen wear like aprons and shirts. There is a section for commercial appliances and ovens which you would not see in the regular Costco.My favorite section is the meat department which is located in a massive refrigerated section of the store. There used to be jackets provided but since Covid19 they are gone so prep for a gigantic version of the normal walk in sections like the Dairy or Produce walk ins.A good percentage of products you can find at both regular and Business Costco but the prices do vary especially the sale prices. If it is on sale at a regular, it is not necessarily on sale at the Business Costco so be wary when going for sale items. There is a separate book sent out for the Business Costco and there are some great deals for Business Costco at times that you do not see at regular Costco.The hours are geared towards businesses so it opens earlier and closes earlier. They are also closed on Sundays.There is no food court although this particular location does have a gas station. If you are in the area and are curious I recommend popping in and checking it out. We now split our Costco trips between here and a regular Costco.

I love Business Costco! It has other things then the regular Costco but all the essentials are still there! I love how early they open; great for a business owner and Costco gas is right behind it! Great combo

Ok, so Im going to assume youre familiar with costco in that they are pretty much a wholesaler right? I mean, there are no small portion items there, unless youre looking at a gazebo or a car or whatever. Well the business centers a pretty much the same but their inventory is limited to mostly the kind of stuff small businesses, namely restaurants consume on a daily basis. Like for example i went with my mom to go look for some meats. Why the business center? Because they regularly have every kind of cut by the box if you want, where as regular costco might have alot of just a few kinds of cuts that they rotate around. If youre a restaurant owner you need the whole cow and not just the limited cuts that regular costco has available at the time of each visit. Same goes for other things like breads and tortillas. Available at the business center in spades and brands galore. But if youre looking for that gazebo or the car or whatever your looking for that is available as a one-off item, you wont find it here at the Costco Business Center.

The line was long to get inside but it was quick. Store not too crowded. Cashier was personable and friendly. One thumb up. Would be two but they didnt have paper towels or toilet paper. Which was my reason for going.

Went looking for general supplies which I found. There were also three items listed in the monthly mailer that I was looking for, but only 1 of the three items was available at this location.Costco (and I am a shareholder as well as member) if you advertise an item in your flyer, you should make sure that they are available in your stores.

Review №95

Nothing out of the ordinary at this Costco other than it caters more to businesses so youre going to find a selected number of items in bulk like the huge container of soap or the boxes of chips ready for resale. As a result, youre not going to find a lot of the items that you may find at a regular Costco. There isnt a food court but the meat section seems to have a lot of different cuts of meat and bigger quantities than a regular Costco carries. There are less checkouts and no self checkout is available.
