“Love the price of Costco gas. You cannot beat it. I'm a one-person household, so I really don't shop at Costco. The large packs take forever for me to finish. However, gas prices amazing! Optometry, fantastic. I pay for my membership just for gas and optical services. And it's worth it!”
“It was great, I found all the produce in large quantities at a very good price compared to getting it from my usual grocery store. I am making a large dish for a party so well worth beating the traffic to get there but next time I'll try the morning.”
“Way better than costco. Love their scan and go app no waiting for cashier lines and i can track the total cost in the app.Alot if bad reviews here about petty stuff. Everyone at the store is helpful nice. Never had an issue with employees other than your typical rude customers, Must be the ones writing bad reviews.”
“My absolute favorite store to shop at for all my dog and cat grooming needs! There's lots of product options for great prices. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the products and tools.”
“Regarding Costco Mission Valley California Warehouse # 488
I have the privelege of being both a Costco loyal member, and a Vendor having served as Brand Ambassador for Honey Smoked Fish Company (HSFC) in Costco warehouses around the nation. I feel that I am very qualifed to give warehouse # 488 a 5☆ rating, 6 ☆s if that was possible.
I recently worked in this warehouse for 3 days from before opening, until after closing. The Costco & CDS (Sample Sales Advisors) deserve impeccable praise for their hard work and dedication, no doubt. Before the doors open through the night, until opening, they work feverishly to make sure that the store is spotless and very accommodating for its members, some 5000 - 6000+ a day. This is not an easy job. Let's be honest, the majority of members are kind. But some (a few) and their kids can be quite inconsiderate. Nonetheless, this store's personnel work diligently on forklifts (women included) with blooms, mops, superior merchandising, and high quality food-safe samples to please all members.
Members are given the benefit of the doubt on returns and alleged member services issues, even when it appears some may not deserve it.
When the store is closed, they play their music genre of choice and work in harmony to please their members. Having visited and worked in many Costco locations, I find this team most outstanding. They do this leaving with aching backs, feet, and tired, but glady return to repeat this rigorous circle the next day.
Warehouse # 488 deserves 6 ☆'s for its team's dedication to satisfying its members, even with current cooler repairs, renovation, and re- merchandising putting additional stress on everyone.
Give them 'their flowers' they deserve it.
Notable personnel to mention
• The CDS team, led by Event Manager Javier and assisted by Manager Jay, CDS Sales Advisors, Supervisors, and Breakers for their exceptional performance: Gabriele, Ana, Marianna, Leiko, Rosemary, Sophia, Juana, Blanca, Carrie, Eman, and anyone I may have overlooked.
• The warehouse Management Team, Jessie, Adam, Brian, Gary, and Zack
• The receiving team and floor staff Nathan, David, and others.
HSFC sold out most of its products at warehouse # 488, and members were excited to be there.
That's all because of warehouse # 488's superior team.”
“Very professional service. Checked availability over the phone, got the stuff I needed half an hour later at reasonable price. Seems like they have every imaginable piece of plumbing supplies. Keep it up, guys!”
“For years I've only had good experiences at this Costco. So many of these employees are familiar face they've been there so long. That is refreshing these days.”
“They have an awesome furniture choices for a great price!! Also they are so friendly and helpful. 10/10 will be back again!!!! Got the CUTEST chairs for such a good price”
“What an amazing example of service. I had been driving all over San Diego looking for some acrylic lenses for my motorcycle lights. After trying dealerships, light stores, and another plastics store I discovered Plastipro. Upon calling Peter told me to come on down as he was sure he could help me. He did not lie. Peter was a very friendly, took one look at the lens I had and swiftly went about programming his laser cutter. We spent the time chatting about riding and the fresh cut lenses were ready in no time. Upon attempting to pay he graciously told me there was no charge to a fellow rider!
I was gobsmacked. What a great business and outstanding service. I can't recommend Perter and Plastipro enough.”
“I ordered some furniture from here a few years ago and was really impressed with the quality and how well they’ve held up so we went back to get a few more to complete our backyard project this year. Love the different styles they offer and the price point compared to the other places we researched. Definitely recommend this spot if you’re looking for high quality modern outdoor pieces.”

“Just found out physical store is closed however, u can order online. But the experience of coming into this establishmentLiving in SD this was a treat for me. The ppl here were always so helpful & kind. Even after I moved out of state and my son might come and pick up the oils, incense, prayer beads, etc…for me they were always so welcoming. My daughter Hollie (Rip)introduced me to this shop in 1995. She wore the fragrance, Night Queen and our family still wears it until this day. Of course Egyptian Musk is a definite favorite as well.After the passing of the kind man YaYa, his beautiful family continued to keep shop going. I’m sorry to hear they now closed. They were a real blessing to us all and the community. And are very much missed.Peace & Blessings to the family & staff of Garden of Fragrance.I will be ordering online, however, it is not the same that’s for sure.”

“Full CASH refund? Say WHATT?? Saved me some time and stress when I needed to return a large purchase that turned out to not be quite the right fit for the job. Not their fault at all, but they still didn’t fuss when I asked for my refund in cash since I needed to use it that same day, even tho I paid with a debit card. I won’t soon forget it!”
“Staff here are more relaxed and friendlier compared to the Costco outlets nearer to LA city. The food court is located along the exterior of the building so the seating area is much larger than most others. More parking around the building also as there’s not many other businesses around.”
“Costco has earned a solid reputation in my book, especially when it comes to their food court. One thing that always stands out to me is their unbeatable deal: a delicious hot dog and drink for just $1.50. I've been going there for years, and this price has never changed. It may seem like a small thing, but it's a big deal for us customers. It shows that Costco sticks to its principles of offering great value, even on the little things. I really appreciate that consistency and commitment to quality. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or doing your regular shopping, that hot dog is always a win. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is that sometimes the store can get crowded, and the lines at checkout can feel long during peak hours. But overall, Costco continues to deliver fantastic products at affordable prices.”
“Tire shop staff was very busy, they did see me wave through the small window and rushed in? I bought a new battery for my car they unloaded the core from my truck and were very kind. Thanks for the great staff and service! I wish they had a buzzer for other people waiting.”

“Costco is conveniently located about 5min from where I live and I decided to go there for a late lunch. Obviously there were several people waiting for their order when I arrived and I only waited about 5min after placing my order. I ordered the Chicken Bake and the Cold Brew Mocha Freeze. Can't go wrong with the chicken bake which is more my option now since the pizzas are too greasy for me. The Mocha Freeze has been my default coffee choice for a while now. If I can't decide where to get an iced coffee outside in the community, then Costco is where I go. You can't beat the price and the convenience for me.”
“I got A Sams club to see how much difference it was from cocostco. the price per years is cheap. Has better deals. . This sams club in college Grove. Is a nice store to visit.

“I may not have a green thumb, but fresh flowers are a weekly must for me—and this is my favorite spot for stunning bouquets at a great price.
They’re cupcakes also good ( costco don’t carry) They have lots of option for custom cake and can even order a plain layered cake where you can design it your own. Also, my Sam’s Club Plus membership is absolutely worth it; I love being able to shop as early as 8 AM!
Parking here is also not as bad compared to Costco.”

“It is a wholesale store for Chinese groceries. While individuals can shop too. The vegetables are super fresh, even my picky vegetables eater loves the vegetables. The prices are reasonable. Services are just fine. The Store is clean, the register is fast and accurate.”
“Nice big warehouse type store. They’ve got the best soap in the white gallon bottles, same type of stuff they used back in my day in grade school probably the exact same years later haha”
“I bought a VLog Kit from the Resale Source because I’ve always wanted a ring light and it was a really good deal, way less expensive than other ones I’ve seen. It works awesome and I have not stopped using it since I received it! It’s the perfect size for your desk and I use it on all my work Zoom meetings. It makes such a huge difference to the picture quality! There are three different light settings that you can play around with to find what works best for you. I swear it makes you look younger too! I absolutely love it. Highly recommend this product and The Resale Source.”
