The closest Seoul location is Youngdeung-po, which is the one I frequent. I am hoping this one will do the trick.

Its open, my neighbors already went to it. This one is REAL convenient too. Right at the bus stop and subway station.

They even have creamy peanut butter. the one in yongdongpo only has crunchy.

Directions- Baeksok station (#314 on Orange line), exit 2.
Walk straight ahead to the corner and turn left- THERE IT IS.

It's had HUGE crowds for the past three days.

I have visited this Costco and I think that it is too small. The store is in a good location but Ilsan is a big city. One Costco for all of Ilsan is not enough.

The Costco in Ilsan is very convenient but oddly designed. You enter, go down an escalator to the "dry goods" section, cross all the way through that, then go up another escalator to get to the food section and registers, then up another escalator to get out.

Also, when I went, the cafeteria part only has like 4 seats, and there were, no lie, about 200 people in line to get their pizza or hot dog or whatever. It was nuts.

Obviously you agree with me that the Costco in Ilsan is too small. There are too many bottlenecks, too.

YES- especially at the entrance to the bottom floor, at the grocery section, and at checkout.
