Costco Wholesale is a members-only warehouse selling a huge variety of items including bulk groceries, electronics, and more. Prices are reasonable, especially for their brands, though the selection is limited for most items. The best times to visit are weekday mornings. The staff is very helpful and friendly, and the store is always extremely clean. Good customer service is noted, and customers appreciate being able to buy monthly groceries all at once, as well as the food court. However, there are some issues with traffic and congestion from other customers, and the parking lot fills up very fast. A policy preventing members from sending someone else with their card has caused frustration for some disabled or elderly customers and their families. An incident at self-checkout, where a staff member stated the company does not trust customers, also led to a canceled membership. Despite these points, many find it worth the visit.
Good warehouse store tends to get crowded i take the time to go to the Ankeny location, bigger and less crowded

Just bought a few TVs from Costco in WDM this morning and had the pleasure of working with Michael in electronics. He was extremely knowledgeable about all of the TV brands and models. We were very impressed and happy to have had him help us with our final choices. Thanks, Michael! You are awesome!
