I ordered run flat all season tires for my BMW here at the Costco in St. Louis Park. They did a great job with the tires. It took about 45 minutes. I made an appointment and shopped around inside COSTCO while I waited. I like that they have the nitrogen air for tires right outside of their tire center that is available during open hours. I've gotten tires at COSTCO for all of my vehicles. Even if you have very nice vehicles, they do take great care of your vehicles and they know a lot about cars at Costco these guys at the tire center they love love cars. So you'll be rest assured that your vehicle will be in great hands. I would order the tires online to make sure that I'm getting the right size for my vehicle. You would type in your license plate and the state and your vehicle pops up in type of registry that they have access to, and then all of the tires will appear that are the correct size for your vehicle. They have all weather all season tires, summer tires, winter tires, whatever your vehicle make is, they may only carry one type of all seasons or three types of summer tires the selection is very slim however, you're guaranteed to have the best type of tire for your vehicle anyway. You'll get an email or a text that your vehicle tires are ready for installation and it appears that their scheduling system online is about a week out even though they would like you to come in within seven days to get your tires installed they will either email you or give you a call that you could schedule earlier so that it's within the seven days. I saved close to $400 on my MBenz tires & $300 on my BMW tires, vs the car dealerships. These are big savings. read more

Do not go here for tires. They don't honor their warranty. I was given a 60,000 mile warranty for my tires that I purchased in 2019. I went in to get a tire plugged (after having a screw in it) and they told me the screw was too close to the outside and they couldn't plug it. I knew that to be false because I physically saw the screw in my thread and removed it. When I pushed back on this they changed their story to say it wasn't about plugging the tire it was the fact that the inside of the tire was worn and wrinkly and they couldn't work on it for fear of it blowing up. So I asked why it wasn't covered under warranty and they said because my tires were over 5 years old. My warranty paperwork doesn't say the warranty is either or, it only says 60,000 miles. They tried to tell me it was two different warranties which doesn't make sense at all and it doesn't say that anywhere on the documents. Needless to say their "recommendation" was to sell me 2 tires or 4 tires. I wonder why. I waited for about an hour for them to speak with managers about discounts only for them to offer $25 per tire. However, plenty of other people (white people) came in for tires and got $150-$200 off. We asked how come we weren't offered the same discounts and manager Melissa said this was the best she could do. Again, I wonder why. All they did was lie and change their stories repeatedly to make their narrative work. No one was willing to wiggle, they were condescending and clearly didn't know what they were talking about. Next time, don't write "60,000 mile warranty" on documents if you don't plan on honoring it. If I could rate zero stars I would. Never had this issue at the Maple Grove location. I will never come back. read more

I came in here for work last week, & when I went in the self-checkout to check out, a worker came up to me & I couldn't really understand him. I told him I was doing an Uber Eats order. He came back & asked me if I was doing an Instacart order, & I explained to him once again what I was doing. He then goes & gets tis other guy that I have already had a problem with & he starts harassing me about being in the self-checkout just as he's done before. I told him I wasn't holding up the line. What's the problem? He then goes & gets another guy to tell me the same thing. After a while, I just left my order there, & told them I will not be back. All of that because I wanted to check out my own items. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!! read more

Parking here can be a zoo but that's any Costco for you. Lots of free samples today! Self checkouts aren't manded by staff so they aren't as fast to get thru. Stroke is clean and you can't beat the prices. Lots of items to choose from. read more

It has been a while since I came to this location, but New Year's is upon us, which means there are some awesome buys to be had on your favorite health and wellness items. For me, this means buying some of my favorite Orgain protein shakes (at about 20% off), a new-to-me keto granola, some amazing D3/K2 vitamins to keep my mood sunny, and one of my secret tricks for lovely skin. It was a zoo as usual, but thanks to multiple check stands being open, the wait was not painful at all. I also took a quick cruise through the liquor store--they have a multipack from Go Brewing available! If you're trying a damp or dry January, pick up a pack--the price per can is excellent, and it's one of the best N/A brewers out there. I can't speak to the specific varieties in this pack, but if they're as good as the varieties I have tried from Go, they're awesome for sure. read more

I enjoy Costco. I'm a fan of the $1.50 hot dog and fountain drink combo. Hard to beat that deal! Yes, you are risking your life in the parking lot, but that is the customers not the employees. Likewise customers often are equally unable to drive their carts in the store. Whatever lunacy you witness in those places will be even worse at the gas station. They made improvements, but if you wait for someone to pull out, you may get passed by an aggressive customer. The deals are good and when I spend too much that's on me. The employees are decent and you'll see many of the same people over the years. Yes, they do weird stuff occasionally like carding people in the self help line, but eventually they get their system sorted back out. Overall, good enough for me to be a loyal customer. read more

Are you arriving at this review with the question "what even is Costco?" Because that is a fair question and I can assist with that. It's a "warehouse club" store, and not a regular store. You have to be a paid member to buy most things here. You're not even supposed to come in unless you're a paid member or with a paid member, and they check your card as you enter. And as you exit they compare your receipt to what they can see you leaving with. And they don't have many items in small portions. Most of what's on the shelves are bulk quantities. You're meant to stock up on six months' worth of toilet paper and ranch dressing and chicken nuggets and cat litter which you'd normally have to make many visits to a normal store for. Because of all of the above, everything is noticeably cheaper. Enough that you're still saving money even though you pay for an annual membership. All Costco locations have a gas station, and if you make a point of always getting your gas at a Costco, you'll save enough there to make back your membership fee, potentially several times over. The tradeoff is that the lines are often long at the pumps, especially at this Costco. And they don't have window washing supplies for some reason. Also the gas pumps are not right by the main building, they're on the other side of the Home Depot. PRO-TIP - don't fuss over which side of the pump to go to, because the hoses are extra long and can reach across your car. You'll see people waiting for a pump on "their side" when the other side is available, and you can silently laugh at them as you get going before them. Life's little joys, right? This Costco is busier than all the other ones. The parking lot is hairy. I don't like coming to this one. I try to avoid it, but sometimes I come here anyway. But the parking lot, uck. You will save significant amounts of money on your household groceries if you regularly shop at Costco. You will also save time because you won't make as many trips to stores. But you have to be strategic about storage in your home for some things, and you may have to make concessions about what specific versions of products you settle for, although they stand by the quality of what they stock. Their store brand, Kirkland Signature, is often excellent; it rarely feels like a step down. But it's not like Walmart where you can decide between the many different brands and varieties of shower gel or frozen pizza. They have a snack bar. They call it a food court. It is not a food court. It is a snack bar. Most of what's there is temptingly cheap and very good for what you get. But I don't know why they sell a $2.50 cookie. You can get a freshly-roasted rotisserie chicken for five bucks. I've gotten tires from their tire store and not found any benefit to buying my tires at Costco. They have a wine & liquor section with a separate entrance, and by Minnesota law you can purchase there even without a membership. Employees are kind and professional, but if you are trying to find an item, it is difficult or impossible to find someone among the stacks that can actually help you. They only take Visa or cash. You should get a Costco membership and try to go to the other locations if you can. read more

Have had a pleasant experience at both the Costco itself and Costco Tire. Tire purchase and rotation do not ever take more than 2 hours and 2 hours is the max I have seen, only when it is quite busy. Only once was it an issue with the tire rotation service and one of the employees did not wear gloves and left my steering wheel covered in black soot. I wish they carried more brands of tire though. Also, parking is atrocious, the layout must have been submitted by someone without any experience and approved by a blind manager. There are always guys at the phone kiosks who are a bit annoying because they try to interrupt on every trip down the main aisle. But I buy everything here from kitchen faucet to pineapples to dental floss to my vehicle. The sipping broth is on point. read more

The layout at this Costco is solid and the store is clean. The main issue is how packed it gets. Checkout lines move slowly and waiting to leave can take a while. Parking is also a headache, I had to park way out just to get a spot. Once inside though, everything is stocked and organized well. read more

I ordered a new refrigerator after mine went out completely. Thought if they could get it to me fairly quickly I could save most of the food. After the third defective fridge they tried to deliver and two weeks later finally figured out their prices were cheaper because they sell scratch and dents as new. They use a third party to deliver who rents a u haul and brings it to you pre dented. And two hours early. So their time frames mean nothing. Rejected them all and waiting for my 2k that they said would take 2 weeks to process. Sad someone like Costco has gone downhill so fast that they need to screw over their members so badly. . Can say nothing except so sad..... read more

The staff is nice and all but holy cow! The parking lot is literally the worst Costco parking lot in existence. Granted I do usually go here on a Sunday and am immediately upset every time I pull into the parking lot. Other than that, inside is just like every other Costco. Ps it is nice they have self check out. read more

Costco was out of something on my shopping list, but the sales associate I asked about it immediately knew what I was talking about and was able to confirm that they were out of stock. Costco is usually busy, and today was no exception, but I was still able to get samples from the various food stations and make my way through all of the aisles to complete my grocery shopping. It can be overwhelming, but it is a good place to stock up on essentials (and snacks). The parking lot is always packed. Most of the time, we end up parking near the Home Depot and walking all the way over. The St. Louis Park Costco location has a liquor store (which you don't need a membership to visit). There was wine for very low prices and large packs of beer and seltzer and cider from some local breweries, so I would go back before hosting an event. I decided to try the $1.50 hot dog this trip, and it was fine (so for a hot dog and fountain beverage for $1.50 it was amazing value). There was a 12 minute delay between ordering and when the hot dog was ready because they had run out of the last batch. There was a hungry horde waiting by the time the next round finished cooking. We were able to eat at the indoor picnic bench area, though there was nowhere out of the way to stash all of the shopping carts, so they were all scattered around the tables. read more

I liked the older version of the hot dog. The bun wasn't as mushy, and I believe the hot dog was longer. I enjoyed the mango and strawberry fruit smoothies better than the banana-strawberry ones. For me, the membership fee is high for someone whose main income is SSI. Yes, some employees are less friendly than others, so I try to avoid them. The reason I keep my memberships is the good deals on many items and the lower gas prices. read more

Went to the tire service. They made me wait 3 hours to find out not only was it the wrong size tires but they had no more in stock, but they also ripped one of my tires and put a donut on it. And I would have to wait several days for the tires to come in, and drive my long commute with a donut. So unbelievable! The only good thing is that I brought my quote to Discount Tire and they price matched my Costco quote with even better tires and no installation fee, they took less than an hour, and even gave me a bigger discount, with nicer tires, with a longer warranty and free rotations for life. Go to Discount Tire! read more

I've come here a lot over the years with my family. There are always great deals, coupon books, and samples! We've gone to the food court a few times and like the pizza.

The parking lot is terrible and this location was a madhouse, on a Tuesday! Absolute madness to try and shop here. I'm always disappointed at the amount of vegan items they carry - at least they weren't out of tofu this time but they can't consistently keep Beyond or Impossible burgers in stock (though they did have Morningstar's quinoa burgers). Options are very mid and very disappointing (which is why I don't tag along with my mom very much!) Checkout lines were long but they have two staff members per kiosk to help work through. We would avoid this location due to the busy-level in the future. The gas line was not even worth waiting int. read more

I have had some issues getting a warranty repair done on an electronic item I purchased at Costco about a year ago. Unfortunately the business that sold the item is no longer functioning and I have been unsuccessful at getting the repair done and the warranty fulfilled. I called this location and spoke with Melissa. She contacted the buyer and confirmed that warranty repair was no longer an option and said that they would be happy to give me my money back. I appreciate her kindness and follow through. Costco is the best at standing behind their product! read more

The parking remains the worst thing about this location. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the layout makes it easy to move through the store. The check-outs are still a bit chaotic with the addition of self-checkout lanes. I don't use those and prefer to wait for a cashier to ring up my purchases. While I do have the Executive membership, I always ponder if it is worth it. Because I may have some big home purchases to make, I just go ahead and get it. I usually get about $20 a year back on my purchases. Costco has made an effort to cut down on the amount of plastic used for their products. When I made my semi-annual paper towel purchase, I noticed that the new one do not have individually-wrapped rolls. I was very happy to see this. Finally, the cost of gasoline is usually around 10+ cents less a gallon. read more

I always love going to Costco and I recommend the executive membership because if you're a frequent shopper you'll get cash back on your spending! I highly recommend it and when it comes to gas I recommend a non busy time as it is always super long. Plus their gas station is quite in an inconvenient location if the line gets too long. When it comes to shopping days I recommend avoiding Saturday and especially sundays! Their parking is tricky to get through when it is busy. Otherwise if you have a big family or want to save money this is the place to get groceries. Also don't hesitate on their clothes because I've gotten sweatpants here at a great price and great quality! Highly recommend Costco! read more

I've been a member here for years. The store is not bad. Clean and the layout works once you figure it out. But the parking is ridiculous. You spend forever going in circles and standing in between parked cards jammed with others. The self checkouts are now great. I never buy a lot of stuff because going through the main line is VERY slow. They try. The workers are great. But there are never enough open registers. Last week fewer than half the registers were open. I waited in line for 35 minutes to renew my membership. That is just nuts. read more

Now that we've gone in on the Costco membership, we'll never go back! If you're a Costco member, you're most likely a Costco fanatic and I don't need to explain to you why. For those that are already members curious about this location: yes, it's often busy (especially on weekends during the "sampling time". Yes, it's always worth it. For those that don't know the magic of Costco, a few basics: - $60/year basic membership - Amazing prices on large-quantity items so you can bulk purchase your favorites - A dope concession stand inside with wildly inexpensive sundaes, hot dogs, pizza, and these chicken baked that are sent from above What we love to buy here: - TP, paper towels, trash bags, general essentials - Non-perishables - Unique items like cooked gyro meat, meal kits, dips and spreads - Fresh produce we know we'll use - butter lettuce, peppers, etc - Frozen favorites (Detroit style pizza is unreal!) - Attached liquor store is great for throwing parties on a budget - Always gotta get a sundae on the way out - ROTISSERIE CHICKEN FOR $4.99 I'm very passionate about that last one - the skin is so crispy, they're massive, and I can use as my protein source for an entire week?! Best dang deal in town! The parking lot is massive, but is generally very full. Staff are helpful here, and we haven't had a poor experience, but yes - it does get pretty dang busy, even on weeknights. It's always worth it to me, though! I will say while the Costco gas station nearby os usually 5-10 cents per gallon cheaper, it's always soooo dang busy that sometimes I opt not to wait in line. There are like 6 lines with three pumps each and it still always has a line down the road! read more

This review is specifically about their gas station. We went to get gas at this Costco last Saturday. It was incredibly crowded there. They had ridiculously long lines of cars. The worst part about these lines though was the fact that cars kept constantly cutting in the lines. The Costco staff didn't do anything about it, no cars even honked! There was lines of 10 cars waiting and cars kept cutting in at the front! Not to mention a car broke down at one of the pumps at this station. Do NOT get gas at this Costco. read more

Classic Costco experience. Bulk sizes of nearly everything. A good selection. More clothes than other Costco locations which is nice. Has a liquor store which is also convenient. Really helpful staff (ie Sage in produce told me to look for the greenest stems of the grapes to get the best ones. I had no idea!) I must say though... you take your life in your hands trying to get into the parking lot, navigate the lot, and get out of the lot!!!! Significantly worse than other locations in parking. read more

I'm not going to rate this place lesser just because everybody else looks at this place as a glass that is half empty. Look at the half filled side of it, folks. This place sometimes takes forever to get a parking and takes more than the usual time to get checked out. All for what? They sell their products at pristine quality and better price and people would eventually flock to this place. If it's empty floors all the time, would you even care to enter? Let's look at the positives - 1. Get a Costco membership and you will find great benefits. Right from cost to getting travel packages and even cheaper car rentals. 2. Their tire center offers quality tires at a good deal and the servicing is also good. They respect your time and tell you upfront the ETA so that you can plan your pickup time. 3. The aisles are neatly planned and stocked. They maintain the same planning except for the entrance where the discounted items take rotation on the display. 4. Their cafe offers great deals. We once ordered 10 large cheese pizzas for a team outing and the price and quality were amazing. 5. They offer free samples for tasting at a lot of stops, which is a great way of engaging the customers and alluring them to buy the product. Something a lot of people see as negative is the astute care people at the entrance show to let you in(checking your membership card) and at the exit to cross check your items on the cart against the receipt. I think it's only making sure that only the members get the benefits and that people don't TAKE the products for granted. read more

Ok. First an admission. I just moved here from NYC and have never been to Costco before. Holy Crap. This is awesome. The people here are super nice and always helpful when I have a dumb question. Like "where are the razor blades" - when I am standing with my back to them. The place is well organized and I am almost always able to find what I am looking for. I don't know how the selection rates vs other Costcos or whatever, but I bring the fam here every other week and we always leave happy. Also, the liquor store has crazy prices. Maybe I am a bit out of my mind from NYC prices, but the booze here is super cheap. As far as parking goes, yes, it is a bit of a disaster, but I usually park on the other side of the parking lot, closer to the Leann Chin, and just walk, rather than trying to wade my way through their parking lot. One more thing, the Costco gas station is closer to the Home Depot and is a few hundred yards away from the store. So, in short, stop complaining and let the Costco just wash over you. read more

It is tough to not be a fan of a place whose apparent sole purpose is to save me real money on everything they carry every single day. For true penny-pinchers, there is really nothing better when it comes to Costco pricing per unit of product. Gasoline, for instance, is 10-20 cents less per gallon than any area gas station. Over time, this ends up saving you tens (if not hundreds) of dollars in vehicle operating expenses! However, all 5 stars from me it does not get simply because whenever I consider going here, I try to perform a tactical and strategic analysis of risk vs. reward. In other words, is saving some money on consumable items worth damaging my car or myself when I have to dodge and weave through nearly constant, insanely congested traffic in their parking lot (I have been to Costco stores all over the US and this risk is the same in all of them). To be fair, there is a very large amount of parking but regular citizens have a hard time turning down a good deal once they have sniffed it out which ensures a consistently busy parking lot. So, going to Costco will remain hazardous to your car and your health for the foreseeable future. Most of the time, when I perform that analysis, it often isn't worth it for me to go to Costco (other than for gasoline) because most of their consumable merchandise comes in bulk and unless I am looking for non-perishable bulk items that store well long-term (like batteries, ink pens, and bottled water) I can't make the argument that it is worth going there for a 10 lb bag of coffee beans or 5 lbs of asparagus. The wildcard though, is if I'm hungry. Throwing in the fact that after checking out, I can get an all-beef hot dog and a fountain drink for $1.50 at their little snack bar tilts the analysis strongly in favor of vehicle and bodily damage. Those damn hot dogs over the years have probably cost me more in door dings than the cost of an entire cow! In the end, I probably lose money because I eat my hot dog and then have to throw out the 4 lbs of asparagus I was not able to eat before spoilage. Damn you Costco snack bar hot dogs! read more

Costco always has what I need! We love shopping here as we always find something new, of course it's busy most of the time - we arrived shortly after open and it was getting busy within the hour. Parking is hectic, as usual for any Costco - but worth the hassle. The staff is always friendly and helpful! If you've never been to Costco before, make sure you bring your own bag or grab some boxes along the way to put your items in after checkout. For the most part, the items are all packaged well and you won't always need a bag or box! read more
