9 Reviews for Costco
there are not enough words to describe this place that i love so much. this location is a lot less crowded than Glenview / Schaumburg / Lake Zurich.....shhh!! don't tell anyone!
This location is a lot less crowded than others, and it also has a gas station on site. It's not uncommon for the gas station to be 15 cents a gallon cheaper than other gas stations nearby. The staff here seems pretty well managed and seem to be having fun while they're working- it creates a pretty good atmosphere. Yes, I know we're talking about a warehouse club here- any semblence of good atmosphere is very much visible. The meat department alone is a reason to join as a member- lean, well-trimmed steaks, chops, and burgers that can cost significantly less than supermarkets. Sometimes it's a bit too much meat, but occasionally they have some slightly smaller, more managable packages. I also recommend repacking the meat when you get home so it's easier to use what you need.

Everyone loves Costco - and this is one of the best! Large, well-stocked, friendly staff, always yummy free samples. I caught one employee attempting to guide people to form a line. When one man walked away, she stopped him and said that she knew he'd been waiting awhile, and he had first dibs on the food. Wow!
I walked in intending to buy one item. When we left, our cart was filled with $150 of stuff. They may be impulse purchases, but you can't pass up such great deals. My hubby found his beloved veal chops, along with a $20 warm spring coat. I found three cute sets of toddler PJs, at $8.99 each. Oh, and photo paper, and a 3-pack of printer cartridges, and....
FYI, this is the only place to buy Ice Mountain bottled water from a vending machine for 50 cents. The savings continue outside if you go to the Costco gas station: $2.46/gallon versus $2.55/gallon everywhere else.

How can't anyone not love CostCo? The best store in America, hands down.
We go there to pickup a thing or two, but buy plenty more because we see so many eye-popping prices - and the customer service is always excellent.
For those who thinks it's "another Sam's"; it ain't. I've tried both and Costco just does everything right. At Sam's, I thought it was "cheap", at Costco it's "inexpensive".

I love this Costco! First, it might be attached to a mall, but it's not a busy one so the traffic isn't too bad, it's near a HomeDepot and Menards, which is nice for us home and family types too. Generally it's always clean and well organized, I never have that feeling of being in a bargain basement when I'm in there which other warehouses have often been like. I've also always gotten the impression from the employees there that I've dealt with that they are actually happy to be there.

I love this Costco. Of the several I have been to, this is my favorite. It is large and the staff and other customers are friendly. Also, they have a gas station there -- cheaper than any other gas station. It's a great destination insofar as that there is so much else around to make it worth your while.

Costco - why do I love thee???
I love going to my Mt. Prospect Costco - there's always parking close by - not like the one in Glenview or Schaumburg - dealing with the people running in front of you when you are trying to park - it's so freakin' annoying.
This Costco is very neat like the other reviews mentioned and the people that work there... they genuinely seem to love working there - it's the same people and my experience has been that all of the Costco employees that I've encountered are very helpful and friendly.
What's particularly remarkable is the pharmacy - they are outstanding - the main pharmacist tracked down some meds for me.... called me on my cell phone to keep me posted of status and went above and beyond.
If you are in the neighborhood, go to Costco pharmacy - I believe you don't need to be a costco card holder to use the pharmacy - it really is a neighborhood pharmacy with great personal attention - they rock!

Wow, this Costco is great! Everything is neatly stacked and well stocked. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The lines were short - granted this was a weekday but the Costco by Damen and Clybourn has really long lines any day of the week. Gas on the cheap on your way out of the parking lot - every bit helps with gas prices the way they are nowadays. This is definitely my branch of choice if I'm anywhere near the vicinity.

I have a very deep,dark obsession with the "All American Chocolate Cake". It speaks to you and makes you do crazy things,like getting up at 3A.M. and carving off a big stinkin' hunk o'cake and eating it in the dark.I am Patty and I am a chocoholic.Also, the Costco guac is very tasty,comes in a five pack of individually sealed puches-great for your parties.
