Costco Wholesale

The parking lot is hectic, and when it's busy the lines are long and the returns line might be long. But! They are fast. And there's a lot of great prices and deals. It's a must if you have a large family. And a must to buy Christmas toys and winter clothes. They do samples, and the staff is friendly.

Stopped by yesterday for a few things at around 12 famous last words and I just have to say even though the place is always so busy and at times can feel overwhelming, which I can imagine is hard for the staff too, they handle it so gracefully. They make you feel like you matter. They make you feel like your important and not only is your business valued and welcomed but that you as an individual are. It’s a very impersonal experience. I think that management does a great job at selecting the staff they choose. It’s nice to see. Thanks for the wonderful customer service guys, keep it up!

Always good service. Kirkland brand is actually great products. It's big brand names that the sell under Kirkland. You'll spend more than you think without realizing it as you grab items. Hot dog always rounds out a trip.

My go to place for all groceries!nThe variety of options available are not that great when compared to other Costco locations in GTA.nnThe food court is good. Only the icecream vending machine is a problem from time to time. Staff are friendly and they always have some or the other counter running for samples.nnAmple parking space but finding a spot near to the store can be a challenge like in all other Costco centres. Carts are well maintained.

This Costco location in Barrie is a nightmare. The store is too small for the number of items they carry. They have products stacked down the middle of all the aisles in the freezer section, making it very difficult to get around.nnIt’s not just the workers — the shoppers themselves are frustrated and on edge because everyone is crammed into such a tight space. I live in the southwest corner of Barrie, and we actually prefer driving to the Orillia location because it’s by far superior. There’s more space, more items, and you can park without worrying someone will fight you for a spot.nnFor me, the Barrie Costco is strictly an emergency option.
