    Rougette Brie Tasting Station (very knowledgeable & friendly salesperson)

    UPDATE 1: Review #30 2026-052 Tip: Costco Executive Members can shop earlier either 1-hr. head start on weekdays & 30-min. on weekends at 9:00 AM (aka "VIP hour"). This Costco used to be located on Skypark Ave. & relocated to a larger warehouse with a bigger gas station on Lomita Blvd. about 10 years ago. Prior to the pandemic, I mostly shopped at the Hawthorne location (refer to Review #50) because it was conveniently off the 405 Fwy. while en route home, & I prefer it for their unique stock & roadshows. Some of my shopping list unique basics include: Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter (sometimes I get lucky when it goes on sale), MìLà Pork Soup Dumplings (surprisingly yummy... standalone or with noods), Heavenly Hunks (convenient bite-size cookie snacks), Kinder Bueno (use these as rewards for the kiddos). Some unique items that are infrequently stocked or when there's roadshows: Dekopan Mandarins (only available in late winter/early spring... it's our family fav!), Inked Bread (especially love the Streusel Cinna' Raisins & Timber Wolf Keto Seeds), Tastelli Drinkable Konjac Jelly (my l'il guy loves this... we usually get 1/2 dz. boxes O_o), Pitaya Organic Tropical Glow Smoothie Blend w/Mango, Pineapple, Spirulina, Ginger, Lime, Turmeric (tasty & satisfying smoothie), Sumo Citrus Cold-Pressed 100% Mandarin Juice (just like the orange but sweeter), Kinder Bueno Hazelnut Cones (just like chocolate bar except it's ice cream), Choolip Squeeze Vita Stick (my cats love these treats!). Some of my favs that were stocked a short period: Qi'a Superfood (best cereal ever!), Sahale Snacks (so addictive... pricey elsewhere since it's no longer stocked here), Herdez Guacamole Salsa (especially on breakfast burritos), Honest Kids (doesn't have added sugar), & marcona almonds (it's the "queen" alright). Prices are slowly creeping up, but it's still a decent value for most groceries & things. I really liked the Delaney Paris 2 piece luggage set; it was sturdy & easy to roll around at the airport. One sad thing is that they're phasing out books in the store, especially since 1/4 of my library came from Costco. \(`0´)/ Parking still sucks... some people are arrogant (taking your space even if you were there first with your turn signal on), reckless (near misses while walking to the store), or careless (leaving shopping carts on the lot instead of the designated cart return spots... Costco could definitely use the Scandinavian method of using a quarter to borrow a cart)... yikes! We have a fav cashier named Fernando... super friendly, sweet guy with awesome hair! Both kids as toddlers recognize him & pointed to him if I'm not on his line; when they were verbal, they would ask to find Mr. Fernando as our cart approaches the registers. It's our thing to look out for & will wait in his line even if it's longer just to say "hi" & chitchat, or cheer for his team. Prior to befriending him, I probably only shop at Costco 2x/monthly. Since meeting Fernando, I've tripled/quadrupled our shopping trips.

    This has been our go-to Costco for years! We were actually the first ones inside the store and at the food court -- which I absolutely love because I'm "allergic" to crowds lol. I don't like super packed places, so going early is the best! Everyone at this Costco is always so helpful and nice, which is one of the main reasons we keep coming back. Sure, it would be easy to shop elsewhere like Lowe's or Sam's Club, but we're proud to be long-time, loyal Costco customers. Thank you for always making our shopping experience a good one!

    I've been coming here bi-weekly for over a year. There are new items every time! With a big selection you'll always find what you need and pleasantly surprised finding something you weren't looking for but wanting. Like all Costcos prices are clear and listed above the item. The staff at this location are friendly and helpful. I needed assistance one time and the man who helped me, personally went to retrieve the item after I couldn't find it myself. Location: In South Torrance between Lomita Blvd. on the north and Skypark Dr. to the south. Parking: Even with a large parking lot, brace yourselves! Parking is a nightmare. With many people waiting with their turn signals on for upcoming spot. Others circle the lot looking for open spots. Best time to go: I have found coming 10 minutes before they open is the ideal time to go. I have found it easier to get a parking spot and the store is not as crowded. Unique: * There is a car wash! You can pay for the service while you get gas. * An outdoor food court with tables to sit and eat. * A specific window to pick up Whole Pizza orders. Overall: If you can get past the parking situation this location has an awesome staff, cool amenities and large section of different things!

    The Golden! Puppy training pads

    Karie was such a doll. I was looking for puppy training pads for like 20 minutes, and I was on the clock and she stopped what she was doing to assist me locating them. Very kind, super helpful and most importantly she was quick to help me find them to make up all the time I wasted looking Oh, it's nice to be greeted with a smile when you're stressed out looking lost lol from one 49er fan to another!!

    I had a very disappointing experience at this Costco location today. I arrived around 9:00 AM with my girlfriend hoping to do some quick shopping.When we got to the entrance, we were told we were not allowed to enter because only Executive members can go in at that time. What made the situation frustrating was not just the rule itself, but how it was handled. The staff did not explain the policy clearly and the interaction felt dismissive and unfriendly. As a paying member, I expected a more respectful and helpful explanation instead of being turned away in a way that made us feel unwelcome. I understand that stores have policies, but customer service matters. A simple polite explanation or better signage would have made a big difference. Instead, it left us with a very negative impression and ruined our morning. I hope management at this Costco location pays more attention to how customers are treated at the entrance. Membership warehouses should make members feel valued, not embarrassed or frustrated when they show up to shop.

    I truly have no complaints! The service was great and it was easy to find everything. I came here to see if they had a water pik, and I left with a couple more things I'm glad to have stumbled across! The Water Pik was fully stocked, and at a great price! I'm glad they had it, so I didn't have to order online! I also ended up grabbing a bag of bagels that were on sale Buy one Get one free! I scored some wild caught shrimp for under $20, and finally, 2 packs of short ribs that were about $25 a piece! Great prices, great value! As a single person, it's hard to use Costco consistently because I have no reason to buy in bulk, and I have no interest in hoarding, or the space to do so if i Wanted to! for that reason I hadn't been to Costco since about 2016! I came back with a friend this time around, and it's nice to see so many options that aren't bulk that still have a good pricepoint! I'n considering reinstating my membership! But I will say, parking was definitely a nightmare!

My children noticed Easter eggs displayed around the first floor, but no one mentioned them or engaged with us in any way. We spent some time upstairs reviewing items on our own, and again, there was no greeting or assistance offered. Two associates at a table continued chatting and did not acknowledge us. Before we headed down to leave, we did have one sales person approach us and offer some recommendations but we again were about to leave. We were on the escalator and passed a couple heading upstairs who we could hear were warmly greeted, which made the lack of interaction during our visit even more noticeable. While this may have been an off evening, the overall experience left us feeling unwelcome. We will be choosing to shop elsewhere.
