Executive members are allowed to enter an hour earlier than regular members. I was there at 9 am today and surprised to see the parking lot was already filling up. I had something to return and there was already a line out the door. Some members are oblivious to others and leave their carts in the middle of the aisle as they look at an item. I don't find this occurring as much at other Costco locations.

Was looking for a sauté pan with a glass lid. The staff explained that the glass lid was something that they don't normally stock as it is more of a retail item. This is more of a commercial restaurant supply warehouse. Can't find a glass lid anywhere. Did however find a couple spatulas, and serving spoons. Reasonable prices. I also believe it is better quality. Too bad I missed taking photos. I would say if you own a restaurant. They have it all.

Warranty Experience with Chef's Toys and Mulberry Technology…read moreInitial Purchase and Expectations In 2023, we invested a total of $26,472.61, which included taxes and two warranty insurance plans, for a 3-door KINTORA refrigerator and a 2-door KINTORA freezer. Our initial experience was smooth and hassle-free, largely thanks to our salesperson, Estaban Aguirre. Unfortunately, we later discovered that Estaban was no longer with the company. The Issue Arises On March 6, 2026, the hinge of our 3-door KINTORA refrigerator broke, rendering the refrigerator unusable. Since we had purchased a warranty, we immediately reached out to Estaban for assistance, only to learn from Raul Flores that Estaban was no longer employed with Chef's Toys. Raul provided us with contact information for Mulberry Technology, who was supposed to handle our warranty claims. Challenges with the Warranty Process This marked the beginning of a frustrating ordeal. It quickly became apparent that Chef's Toys was not well-acquainted with Mulberry Technology. Raul initially gave us an incorrect contact number for starting our claim. He directed us to Joshua Wohl at Mulberry, who, while not involved in claims processing, was helpful enough to connect us with the appropriate department--after we had already experienced several unhelpful responses from Raul. After sending our purchase order to Karime, our contact at Mulberry, we learned that Chef's Toys had never registered our protection plan with Mulberry or transferred the necessary funds for our warranty. We attempted to follow up with Raul but received no response until we escalated our concerns to Chef's Toys' corporate office. Unfortunately, reaching out to their main line at 714-662-2433 during business hours of M-F between 9am-5pm only led to a voicemail, and our emails through their website also went unanswered. This is TERRIBLE! Resolution and Lingering Frustrations Eventually, Raul from Chef's Toys responded and offered a courtesy repair for our refrigerator door but informed us that our remaining warranty coverage would not be honored. This was frustrating, as we had already paid for the warranty. During this period, on March 25, the Health Department visited and deducted points from our inspection due to the non-functional equipment. We promptly notified Raul about the urgency, as another inspection was scheduled for April 6. Fortunately, the Health Department accepted our communication with Raul and a photo of the completed repair as proof. The entire process--from the breakdown on March 6 to the repair on April 6--took a full month. This delay was disappointing, especially given that waiting for a part should not have justified such a lengthy timeline; someone could have delivered the part to expedite the repair.

I would give the manager 0 stars if I could. Easily one of the rudest, most unprofessional managers…read moreI've ever dealt with. I've asked him simple questions multiple times and he'll straight-up ignore me like I'm not even standing there, for absolutely no reason. His customer service is horrible, his attitude sucks, and somehow he's still in a management position. I've even heard employees complain about dealing with him, so clearly I'm not the only one who's had a bad experience. Whoever is above him seriously needs to pay attention to how he treats customers and staff. Other than dealing with that miserable manager, the store itself is actually great for plumbing supplies, especially if you're trying to stay on a budget. Good prices and a solid selection. It's unfortunate that one person can make the experience so damn unpleasant.

You cna snag some awesome deals just because they had some minor defects. Honestly, for the price, I didn't mind the imperfections at all. Even the regular pots were really well priced, and there was a huge selection of sizes, colors, and materials. This isn't really a place you come to for the vibes. You come here because you know what you need and want a huge selection at really good prices. I already can't wait to go back!

Our upcoming visit to the islands is just around the corner, our creative & talented seamstress has her own prints but we'd like our own designs to choose from. We've purchased here before (can't believe I haven't done the review!) and Jacqueline actually loved their prints--so did we. The Aloha Shirts were simply fabulous! So here we are again to find more distinctive Hawaiian designs. Today, only "Baba" ("father" in Farsi) was in attendance at the shop, the last time we were here (if I'm not mistaken) was probably before the pandemic. Back then, there were a few ladies working here and were all Pacific Islanders. Baba was friendly & personable. The selection is fairly massive, wall to wall, 2 aisles worth and some on the back wall that were plain (I did not check that back wall!). Pricing? Definitely sky rocketed, just like everything else. It's about $10/yard (the material that's thicker). Hubby needs 3 yards per shirt (XXL Tall). It's a pretty penny, plus the price for custom tailor, that's another discussion lol. Given the price tag, perhaps we will explore other fabric stores (next time) that will accommodate our needs. Plus, when we purchased from the ladies that were here before, they gave us a discount for the amount we paid for the fabrics. Little perks go a long way. In any case, this was a good (learning) experience.

Standard outlet pricing is buy one get 50% off second pair. Prices are also slightly lower than the retail stores so that's good. No service of course since it's an outlet - you need to go and ask for assistance. Cashiers were helpful, they explained about the slippers, shoes if you asked. Just like the retail stores you get a very nice dark blue sketchers cloth style backpack with 3/4" or 1" drawstring/straps so not the usual free string type drawstring/straps. Bag is also large since it can fit two boxes in it. I will definitely used this bag in the future. Would return if I'm in the area again. Oh yes, this location has a good court. Not the same as Costco food court but there was a line at lunch time when I drove by, and posted prices were reasonable.

*Optical department review *…read more Overall my experiences at the optical department have been great. Recently i ordered glasses and turns out they were too heavy. They kept slipping down my nose and gave me headache from the weight on my ears. I had them adjusted 3 times . I was even given the suggestion to by eyeglass cushions to keep them from sliding and be more comfortable on my ears. They worked until the silicone dug into my ears. I went to return them and was told the manager wasn't there and I had to come when she was there . I went back a week later, tonight 7/22/26 and the manager wasn't there. I checked in before seeing the manager was there. When it was my turn, the same young lady that turned me away previously called my name, I told her, I was back and per her I needed to see the manager. The manager had a customer, She said she'd let the manager know I was waiting. My name was called again by Eddie. I told him I was waiting to see the manager , I was seated and he told me to come up and he could assist me. He was knowledgeable, Personable and kind. While he processed my refund we talked about the FIFA World Cup. He told me he's off tomorrow but my insurance would be contacted to process the return with them tomorrow 07/23/26, since it was after 5p. He did call the manager over for an approval, she greeted me and was very nice. I appreciate the customer service he provided me. My time wasn't wasted as it was previously. Thank you Eddie!!
