Which subway station is it near?

And, has anyone actually been there?

Also, can you go in and wander around without being a member?

Suyong station is the closest, then you gotta take a taxi or bus there.

I haven't gone yet, but I'm gonna go pretty soon.

You need a membership to go in, they check right at the door if I remember correctly.

I went last week to get my membership.

I got off the subway and then took bus 115 to the Costco. The shelves were stocked but they were not open.

7/8 seems to be the day I am hearing for the opening.

There is a map linked on this website and directions that you can print and give to a taxi driver in Korea.

I wish there was a way to block that link from all users that have been in Korea for more than a few months.

almost all of the stuff in the stand up freezers/refridgerators had to be thrown away as it was chilled at the wrong temp, so you can't buy anything from that section (except milk and cheese and a couple of other things. normal service should resume for a week or so in those sections.

its still a zoo though, i had a korean guy and woman SCREAMING at each other literally in front of me as one thought the other had pushed in to get a pizza.....

Some ajossi walked into another ajossi's cart the other day at Costco, ignoring everything to try to snatch a coupon thingy from an employee. Dayum I thought they were gonna throw down. Chests flared, eyes blazing, short barked LOUD Korean being thrown around. Hot *beep*.

Yeah, very crowded.

I went on Sunday afternoon/evening and there were people everywhere. Took twice as long as it use to take me when I went to Daegu Costco to get my shopping done.

Or you could get off your lazy rear and take the 10-minute walk from Suyong station.
