It�s located in Bukgu, right between the giant Lotte Mart and the Nong Hyup grocery store, to the side of Hwy 31. It�s just south of the Airport, near Hwabangdong.
For those unfamiliar with it, Costco is a cooperative business, which means anyone who wants to shop there must buy a membership (it costs about 30,000). They�re a giant warehouse of home and automotive stuff, as well as groceries. The reason this excites a lot of the foreigners in town, is that it�s the only place to find many of the comfort foods from home, or it sells the products at a much better price than the other supermarkets. The sell mostly bulk goods, so it�s not a great place to get things like soy sauce, unless you want a 2-gallon drum, but you can pick up a winter�s worth of chili ingredients in one fell swoop.
To get there by bus : Routes 112, 122, 203, 205, 206, 213, 216, 225, 226, 233, *235, 236, *246, 256, 266, *402, 412, 421, 422, 432, *442, 453, *462, 472, 702, *722, 732, 802, and 1402 all have stops within walking distance. Buses with an * stop closest to Costco.
This map (thanks to Jason Teale) will help the drivers find their way: The intersection at the top right is where Hwy 7 meets Hwy 31. The main road at the bottom is the road that runs past the Junggu Home Plus (not shown), through Byeongyeongdong, past the Junggu Police station (shown).
