So, I stroll into the store at 10am on a Tuesday, bright-eyed and optimistic--it's knife-sharpening…read moreday! They'd just opened, and apparently, so had the portal to absurdity. I tell the guy I want the knives sharpened and ready for pickup that afternoon. Simple enough, right? Wrong. He informs me they ship the knives off to New York, and it takes 2-3 weeks. Weeks. Because clearly, these knives must undergo a spiritual journey before they're deemed worthy of being sharp again. I explain they aren't *that* dull and ask if they can just sharpen them in-house. He says they can--oh, but not the serrated knives, can opener, or scissors. Sure, no problem. I'll take those magical items home and entrust him with just the straight edges. Then he drops another gem: they can "touch up" the knives. Fine by me, as long as I get them back in the afternoon. But wait! Plot twist--he suddenly claims it'll take 2-3 *days* because they "have an event." An event? Are the knives the keynote speakers? Because the store was as empty as my patience at that point. I looked around, saw no sign of this mysterious "event," and finally hit my limit. I stormed out, muttering about how I'd apparently wandered into the Theater of the Absurd. Honestly, what a circus.

Lately I've been buying my garden supplies. I also get a variety of tools. Customer service is very good. The cashier is always helpful. They often if not always ask did you find everything okay. I was able to find everything. I only ask for help finding one item.

I rarely need assistance and didn't require any at this location so I can't comment. I will say the cashier wasn't as friendly as the one close to my house but it is what it is. Huge selection so if I can't find it at my location, I'm guaranteed to find it here (I also check online first).

But I knew nothing of central vacuums. The label on the old vac said "BEAM" so googling I go, and off I went to the Beam store. I walked in with 100 questions. To my absolute shock, they pulled up the original invoice, PAPER INVOICE, from a file cabinet that was completely legible with all of the info from my house's installation over 30 years ago. Wow. Talk about organized. Now, I can look at upgrades to my existing unit that STILL WORKS. The people here were extremely helpful and their units are beautiful. They answered all my questions and were so friendly. I got prices ($$$$) and immediately went home and started searching online. It appears that you can only purchase a Beam central vacuum from a dealer within 100 miles of your home, to eliminate online purchases or something. Booo. I was trying to avoid my ridiculous local sales tax rates. I'll be back to this location to get my vacuum, which can be either installed yourself or installed by them. You can walk in and walk out with a system, no ordering needed. And, they have brass wall outlets! Looking forward to my own space age vac!

I was trying to pick up some wick sternos for work, and I asked where they were. An employee took…read moreme to the aisle. I asked if they were the wick burning or gel to make sure I got the correct product, and the employee said sorry all we have are gel. Upon closer inspection of the sterno boxes they said "wick chafing fuel" so I mentioned it. The employee then said they were not gel. All their flat-cap sternos are rusted, apparently because one burst open on the rest according to the employee. Not very reassuring... I asked if I could uncap one to see if the wick was correct and neither the employee or I could get the cap undone. I asked if he had any tools we could use. He went to the back said all the guys were out with tools and then left me in the aisle and headed back up front. Not the greatest customer service or knowledge on their part...

They'll do just about anything to accommodate their regulars, no matter how crazy (trust me, they've done some really off the wall special orders for me over the years!), and their prices are generally pretty good. Their selection isn't Jay Asia (my lord and saviour since they opened in the 80's!), but they are also serving a different clientele. Good guys, highly recommended.

This place usually carries regular half and half, where the other stores have a "fancier" brand. If they had rotisserie chicken, not sure I would ever go to the other "regular" Costco!

Here at the Business Center, I have never seen a line. I am able to get in and out with a full tank on gas in nothing flat. Gotta love, that. Shopping this store is similar to shopping Restaurant Depot. Many of the food items and pantry supplies are packaged in larger quantities than the regular Costco. Some are too large for me to even freeze with my Food Saver. However, I do like shopping the protein bars here. The selection and variety is much larger than the regular Costco. Another area I love shopping is, their pots and pans. I use to add new pieces to my collection when I shopped Marshall's or Home Goods. Now that I have discovered the selection here, I've added several pieces. Some are packaged individually and others are sets of two. When it's a set of two, I gift the second to a friend. As with all Costco Centers I have shopped, the staff is professional and friendly. Costco treats their employees right and when a business does that, it shows in the employee's performance.
