Wholesale Stores in Winter Park, FL

“This past week I was gifted a membership to Costco. It's been many years since I had a membership to this type of club. And back in the day it was very hard to get into a club like this as they had strict rules as to who could become a member. I went on a Tuesday mid-afternoon, and the place was mobbed with people. After a very quick visit to the service desk to get my picture taken and receive my card.... off I went to explore the store and check out every aisle. Man I was exhausted after that lol it's huge. The staff that I encountered were friendly and smiling. The physical plant was clean and kept up. The shelves were for the most part we're neat and stocked with everything they were supposed to. Some of the popular food stuffs were sparse but there were still items available on the shelf and/or workers restocking. Now the whole idea of going to these places is to help your family save some money by buying in bulk. I bought seven items after spending two and a half hours walking through.. I was careful of what I purchased ,not only because I thought the item was a good price but buying in bulk and me being single, causes a storage problem at my home ...especially in my freezer lol. I think it defeats my purpose to cut expenses and buy another freezer so that I could store all the stuff that I would have normally purchased at a regular store from Costco instead. Since this was my first time and I was dipping my toe in and getting a feeling for what was available at Costco , I can see in my future I will be more careful and be able to plan what food stuffs I will not buy at a regular grocery store and wait and buy in bulk at Costco. To be honest as a single person I saved about $26 in the items that I purchased... but they are larger bulkier items that will definitely last longer .I will just need to make more room in my storage for them. And since I like fresh... it's sort of a wash for me as to what I can purchase other than dry goods,since I don't really have The extra room to store the bulkier items.If I had a family ...without a doubt it's a good value, and in my opinion a smart move to shop at Costco. Looking forward to going back to shop at Costco. Keep up the great work.”

“Finally had my first Costco experience! I visited on Sunday and got there right at 10am when the location opened and the parking lot was almost all the way full. Staff was really helpful and quick at the front counter where my friend got her Costco card. We made our way around the store and found some unique snacks in the middle section. I picked out cute pajamas and an athletic dress, which will be good for these hotter months. Lots of really good deals on pantry staples and paper goods. My favorite find was my $10 insulated cooler bag. It was massive and kept my cold items chilly while shopping. I also really like the huge selection of prepared meals in the back. I snagged a gyro kit for dinner. The self check out line was long but we opted for the regular check out which was super fast. To get the full Costco experience, I purchased the $1.50 hot dog + soda combo and $1.99 pepperoni pizza slice. Everything was very good and plenty of seats available. The only con was exiting the store. The lines to exit were gridlock and past the registers. It was a lengthy amount of time to get out of the store.”

“Love this tire center. They are always courteous and professional no matter how the last person treated them. I have been putting tires on my vehicles at this location for 10 years, and it is always worth whatever the wait is in the shop to be treated right.”

“I've only ever came here to shop for others (instacart).....weird to say since I got a free membership from Uber This location is nice, clean and has a big parking lot! I've never seen them be out of stock of anything besides water during hurricane season. The best times to go are on Tuesday and Wednesday; the worst are the weekend...Sunday and Monday especially. The lines are always extremely long and people will be in your way. No one will say excuse me and will literally just stand in the middle of the aisle The veggies can sometimes be a hit or miss on being fresh btw. I took a star away because it's sometimes hard to find help! I'll usually have to ask an employee who's working the clothes area. The meat department employees are wishy-washy, some are very help but others will treat you stupid. My favorite is the employee who workers the veggie area! He's super sweet and seems to remember me since I shop so often The cashiers are also sweet but can be slow but understandable when a customer has almost the whole store in their cart lolOh and the gas station is insane, I recommend going early any of the days but again noticed it less busy on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with random spikes during lunch and rush hour (obviously)”

“I have been using the Winter Park Costco Pharmacy for many years. The staff and manager have always been professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable. If there are any issues with my prescriptions or insurance the Pharmacy staff always takes the time to resolve the issues in a timely manner. Additionally, the Pharmacy prices are very competitive and the OTC items are always well-stocked.”

“Solid location for this chain. Large parking lot that is pretty easy to navigate despite it being busy on a regular basis. Obviously weekends and evening are the peak times so it will be more crowded than other points in the week. If you are able to come during off hours it may be easier to get around and find what you want. The store itself is clean and well organized throughout. We didn't have any issues finding the things we were looking for (and weren't looking for LOL). The check outs seemed super busy with a line that extended pretty far back, but it was a short wait and we moved through easily. They do check your receipt on the way out as they don't offer bags for your items, so just be ready with that and you'll exit without issue. Overall: A Easy experience to find bulk buys. Try to avoid peak traffic times if you are able.”
