Whoa I had driven down this road many times but totally missed glances over here. Maybe I looked…read moreonce but thought it wasn't for the public. You see US Foods is one of the big wholesale food distributers that restaurants big and small use. They will deliver big loads of goods whether food or supplies right to the restaurant, usually on pay terms so no cash is handled. And for busy restaurants this is a must, as they constantly need raw goods coming in weekly if not daily. This is the first time I saw a 'US Foods' store. I think they took over something else. But it is a big store/space where almost everything is in bulk and/or wholesale form. For the home cook there is really nothing here that would fit their needs/kitchen unless you like to buy in bulk. 20 - 50 pound bags of beans, sugar or flour is usually just too much for an average Joe to carry to the car, let alone store in a home pantry. But if you like to entertain/cook for a large group like a big birthday, a bbq outing or big holiday get-togethers, then this place may serve you a purpose. I browsed one day and got a good feel for the place and here are my observations. If you go into the fresh produce area or the meat/dairy areas, you will have to go into a refrigerated room. The whole room is about 35 degrees so if you go in there in shorts and/or a t-shirt, then you will not be able to stay in there for too long. Produce not really extensive but you will be able to find some basics. Some things are in cases/big bags but not everything. Actually lots of things in smaller packaging like 2-3 pounds which is doable for a home fridge/usage. I'd say the offerings here are somewhat similar to what you could get at Costco. Meats are a mixed bag. Lots of processed meats like deli meat in whole form. Lots of cheese too but much too bulky for a home fridge. There are pork and beef but all in big/whole chunks. Nothing will be cut into steaks. Big packs too like minimum 10 pounds or more. But if you're cooking for a big group, you're gonna need a minimum of 10 pounds so this may be a draw for me. The bad is for the beef selection, even though the pricing did seem good, there is no 'choice' grade. They use 'select' grade here, which is a notch down from choice. But if you're just braising or slow cooking then this grade would be just fine. Costco only serves 'choice' grade or higher so theirs is more premium. Pork is fine here, I got some pork tenderloin in 2 packs, which is one of the smallest packages I saw, ideal for home usage. Good selection of restaurant ware. Pots, utensils and storage containers. This is a big draw for me as I love restaurant quality storage containers. They are sturdy, with tight lids and many are stackable. These are even hard to find at Costco and Smart and Final. On a weekday morning there is zero traffic here, complete opposite of Costco. Now this is more geared towards restaurants, but knowing if I can get something here or Costco, I will choose this, as the parking and ease to get in and out is an amazing asset to me. I was gonna give them 3 stars for not really being friendly for home usage but given those certain occasions where I'm cooking for 10 or more people, then this place will get a heavy consideration. And drum roll please******no membership card needed. Open to the public. **cymbal crash**

Today I purchased a box of oranges at CHEF'STORE in San Lorenzo for my natural juice business…read more Before purchasing the box, I inspected it and found several spoiled oranges, so I replaced them with good oranges from the same product. When I got to the checkout, an employee named Eloisa questioned why the box was so full and informed me that the store had cameras, suggesting that I may have added extra oranges. This made me feel unfairly suspected and embarrassed in front of other customers. The box contained 82 oranges, which is within the range stated on the receipt (72 to 86 oranges per box). At no point did I take any product without paying for it. I was disappointed by the way the situation was handled. As a customer, I expected to be treated with respect and professionalism. Additionally, when I later called the store to explain what had happened, my call was disconnected before I was able to fully express my concerns. I hope management reviews this situation and ensures that customers are treated fairly, respectfully, and based on facts rather than assumptions.

I come to this Costco Business Center regularly to shop for my mom's coffee shop, and I had a…read morereally disturbing experience outside the store today. An older Asian man wearing a white shirt, with tattoos and black hair in a ponytail, became extremely aggressive because he thought I was taking his parking spot. What confused me was that he had already left another parking spot with his items. While I was still inside my vehicle, he began yelling at me and told me to "go back to my country," even though I was born here. Regardless, that kind of racist comment is completely unacceptable to say to anyone. He then tried to provoke me by telling me to get out of my car to "fight him." No customer should have to deal with behavior like that while simply trying to shop. What was also disappointing was that Costco security was parked nearby and did not appear to step in or address the situation. I sincerely hope management denied this man service or at least addressed his behavior, because it was disgusting, aggressive, and unacceptable.

It has been a long time since I was last here... So time for an update…read more But now that I am shopping at Cardenas Supermarket down the street, I can frequent you more often. And I am going to check out your regular Costco in Hayward also on my next visit. Quality/Quantity - I like visiting the Business Costco because they have slightly different items from regular Costcos. And I sometimes discover some GREAT finds. Well, not today. I like buying your commercial kitchenware from this location. Good quality and reasonable prices. No fresh seafood at this location. No food court. Actually, very limited departments. Just noticed that I do not have many pictures for this location; I will change that on my next visit. Atmosphere - They added gas to this location in April of 2022. Makes parking slightly harder, but I like to walk. Neat and organized; actually, it is even more spacious than I remember from my last visits. Service - Consistent. Price - I never check. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success at this location since 1992. Congrats on all your success since 1976, since Price Club.
