Costco Colossus: Shopping & Samples Await!
Calling all bulk-buying enthusiasts! This mega-Costco boasts a sprawling parking lot and an equally vast selection of goods. But first-timers, take note: VISA is king here, so leave your Mastercard at home.

While navigating the bustling aisles, I fueled up with a delicious fruit smoothie from the food court – a smart pre-shopping strategy! Don't forget to watch for tempting Costco samples scattered throughout the store – who knows; you might discover your new favorite snack!

Speaking of favorites, the food court pizza. Crispy crust, generous cheese, and that irresistible Costco magic – it's a must-try!

Pro tip: Skip the weekend madness and shop during the week for a more relaxed experience. Your wallet and nerves will thank you!

I recently visited the Pentagon City Costco at 1200 S Fern St, Arlington, VA, and I must say, it's one of the best Costco locations I've been to! The store stands out for its impressive size, boasting one of the largest inventories in the area. This vast selection really shines through, offering everything from electronics to groceries, and their bulk purchases are a great way to save money.

The food court is another highlight, offering delicious and affordable options like hot dogs, pizza, and a variety of desserts that are perfect for a quick bite during a shopping trip.

However, there's a slight downside – the parking. It can be a bit of a hassle, especially during peak hours. Navigating the parking lot can be challenging, but it's a small price to pay for the overall shopping experience.

In conclusion, despite the minor inconvenience with parking, the Pentagon City Costco remains one of my favorite locations. It's a fantastic place for anyone looking to find great deals on a wide range of products. Definitely worth a visit!

We had a great experience here! It’s SO economical, especially for things we use daily.

This Costco storefront may seem tiny but rest assured, it is the same inside as any other warehouse, maybe even larger. Loved this location, right next to a mall. Great selection in all respects. The parking lot isn't small by any means, but it may take some time and patience to find parking on the weekends. Validating parking is super easy, at the "valet" umbrellas right at the exit (we only stayed for under an hour but I believe they validate up to 2 hours).

It took me 2 hrs to truly see what they have. It is worth the trip. The junk food is a quick plus. Get the croissant and chicken!

I have to admit that the cookies 🍪 are AMAZING
Try it with the ice cream and let me know how did you find it 😃

Oddly Costco is a happy place for me. The meats, produce and wine selection are superb. The jewelry is very high quality. Don’t be scared to buy the Kirkland products because they are mostly sourced from the brand named product. Staff are friendly even when they are super busy.

A great wholesale place. Staff are kind and helpful.

Today I was there for optical to get glasses. Samantha and Halima were really helpful.

Only thing to look out for is that it can get busy often. Even if you're only buying a few things just beware that it can take a while to park, shop, get checked out, and get out of the parking lot.

Sunday, 4/7/24: Wow, 10:20:ish a.m., busier than I've ever seen it here.... The line to get into the parking lot off Fern Street was about two blocks or more long(almost to Army Navy Drive). After waiting 15 minutes, maybe longer, it occurred to me to go to the entrance on South Hayes Street. Into the garage in fewer than two minutes! Once in the store, I did my Big Mama's thing of moving about smartly, politely, and with a hello and big smile to the people whose carts I gently moved out of the center of the aisle! Picked up steaks, salad and sandwich trays, drinks, bread, and dessert for a VERY last-minute lunch I was hosting at noon! In and out of the store in about 20 minutes! All lanes were open and Costco team members were everywhere and AWESOME.

Previous review:
Even though it was a usual busy Sunday morning, we went with list in hand and were in and out in no time. I'm sure due in large part to the fact that they had almost all of the check-out lines open. 🛒🙌🏽

Borderline uncivilized,lol, but it's to be expected when you put a Costco inside a city.
Stay focused!! You'll get a parking check that they'll validate on the STORE exit.
Food court kiosks have lines. But still the best pizza deal in Washington DC.
Uncharacteristically, I did hit a snag recently on an item return. But I simply visited another Costco and the item was returned expeditiously.
I'm completely loyal to Costco and would give 7 stars if compared to Giant, Safeway, Lidl, or Trader Joe's

Probably the best Costco in the general area. Well layed out (in the Costco style) and carries a full range. No real evidence of it, but feel like the meat selection is better than other Costco’s nearby. Shame it can sell liquor but that’s state law not Costco.

Well maintained store to shop all kinds of goods required in daily use, under one roof within central area.

Well organized. Very busy even during Sunday afternoon while the Redskins were playing. All 15 checkout line run and customers 5 carts deep. Convenient parking now that a 300 car parking garage is next store.

This is a great Costco despite being very crowded. They have a parking garage that has never been completely full that I have seen during my dozens of visits.

We love visiting the Costco here since we live nearby. If you're planning a trip to pick up groceries, do not go during a weekend! Go after work during a weekday, or right when they open during the week. Weekends can be a real madhouse.

As with any Costco there are great options for a cheap and tasty meal at the food court, but unfortunately this location doesn't offer the fabled Costco brisket sandwich that has long been my white whale. Where, oh where are you Costco brisket sandwich? One day you will be mine! Terrific selection of beer and wine, and excellent seafood, among a staggering array of other things.

Clean. Had to see the members section for errors regarding my Costco membership card. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent customer service from Jeung who proceeded to make the necessary corrections. First time at this store.

The staff is great and so are the premade tacos!! The chicken street tacos are a must.

Believe it or not, this is the first Costco I have ever been to in my life. They have great workers who have attention to detail and wonderfully priced goods. If you've never been to a Costco, it will change your life. Try the pizza, it's amazing, and I hear the hot dogs are a staple!

Very good place to shop but usually congested, best time is when they first open more places to park
