    Quality products. Very clean. Worth the membership fee. I got new tyres for my car, their Auto department is very good

    The best shopping experience ever. The pizza and cakes from the cafe are amazing. Great choice of food and drinks. They do the ebest carrot cake in the world. Lots of fresh meat and platters of food. Parking is close to the store. Fuel is cheaper here too.

    This place is massive, a really big car park. Lots of trolleys. On entry you have to produce your card, which is scanned. Then you are free to explore this huge warehouse of goodies, such as blow up slides, sheds, tv's, jeans, beer and wine the list just goes on. When you have finished, you.goto the till, your card is scanned again. At the trafford park Costco, when exiting the tills the small but very busy cafe is a must, really cheap food with big portions, but be warned the queue can be big. On the way out have your receipt ready, as a member of staff will check it against what is in your trolley. Staff are very friendly. Membership was 33 quid for the year for 2 card holders. Well worth the visit. Gets busy at the weekends and also during the night 🌙

    Great store and superb layout. Fresh fruit and vegetables. Cheapest petrol in Manchester. All this comes with a price, need a membership card, which costs around 25£ a year. Conditions apply. Please check before you could walk in for a card, you’ll be disappointed if you’re application is rejected if you don’t meet the criteria in store. Worth checking before coming. Once a member, the benefits are endless. The food quality is worth every penny.

    Pretty decent place, very busy though. Lots to choose from although beware - some items can definitely be found cheaper or same price on the high street (eg Farmfoods). Clothes, electronics, food, cakes, car tyres, the list is endless. Recommended if you are going to come at least monthly, otherwise probably not worth it I'm guessing.

    Fantastic! Head to Costco Manchester for an amazing shopping experience! Get ready for endless aisles of unbeatable deals and exciting finds - you won't want to leave this awesome store empty handed! Always picking up my daily essentials in bulk but even with not needing much ending up spending over £100 😀 tyres for a bargain price also and bakery queues are the only thing to improve!

    Good big box warehouse (membership required) this is the third store I have visited , they all seem the same and have similar layout, there's bargains to be had especially big label brands this is usually the cheapest place to buy. The fuel prices are usually the cheapest in the area very good for children's toys on the run up to Christmas.

    Costco is a massive wholesaler. Its not extremely cheap, but its worth it for you if want to buy everyday items in bulk, like cereals or toilet paper and such. They have almost everything you're looking for, a restaurant if you want to eat like hot dogs jacket potato and the likes. Good for your monthly shop, for foods with a long shelf life.

    Love going here regularly, all the staff are lovely and really helpful. The funny thing is, their toilets should win an award for Britain’s cleanest. Always spotless and it’s a pleasure to use their loos. Well done.

    - A nice and big branch with the fuel station. As of 2 Oct 2023, - 145.9p for petrol - 150.9p for diesel while seemingly the best price in the region (Sainsbury’s) is - 150.9p for petrol - 158.9p for diesel Also, who can resist the jacket potatoes at Costco :) The price has gone up over the last year reflecting the high inflation in the country.

    Who doesn't love Costco?! A very busy store but a brilliant store. You won't find petrol or diesel cheaper anywhere. They have now massively sped up ordering hot food from the cafe, thanks to self service ordering points and more staff. I ordered a hot dog and had it in 60 seconds 🌭 couldn't believe it! Also a fantastic place to get new tyres for your car, especially when they have a special offer on certain brands. The tyre department are a pleasure to deal with and look after you and your car. As for the rest of the store....it has everything! Perfect for large families, shop owners.... anyone. The queues can be big but it's worth the trip.

    Decent store, it's pretty old now, so it feels a little cramped inside but if you've ever been to a different store it's essentially the same. Something that hasn't been updated yet but looks like it will be soon, are self-ordering machines for the restaurant. Otherwise it's the usually stuff, decent quality food, clothes, snacks, gifts, toys, vitamins, electronics, lots of random stuff.

    As good as Costco could get, efficient, effective and with great value based pricing... Wonderful seasonal top quality products offerings at its best competitive pricing and top notch qualities ... It is so great to shop there ... You go to get 5 or 6 different items you come back with much more ...👍🏼👌☺️😁🤌

  • 5/5 Nhan N. 6 months ago on Google
    Loved the place, our usual shopping for fruit, meat and groceries every week. Found lots of fruits that are not found on normal market, of course we have to buy in large quantities but totally worth it. Sometimes we can find great discounts on products too, particularly products that are newly introduced to the market. Worth paying a visit and recommend

  • 4/5 Michael F. 6 months ago on Google
    Went for some air fresheners however only had 1 options which I didn’t want. Finished off by grabbing pizza and hotdog, which is as per usual, cheap, easy, and good! Also they have the new self service screens which make it easy! Only downside is Manchester is the busiest Costco I’ve been to. Barely room to breath.

  • 5/5 Ahmed R. A. 7 months ago on Google
    Great variety and value. At Costco, you’ll find everything from groceries and electronics to clothing and cleaning supplies - all in one warehouse. They’re able to bring you such great values because of their enormous buying power, and you get to enjoy the convenience of one-stop shopping. They also have a great range of ancillary services, including: Optical Centre Tyre Centre Hearing Centre Fuel Stations

  • 5/5 Mike H. 9 months ago on Google
    Great place for bulk buying for individual shopkeepers as well as individual shoppers. A yearly paid Membership is required and its quite specific about who can buy a membership. There is a vast array of products and all cheaper than average retail prices. Good options in all parts of the store.

  • 4/5 Salima L. 9 months ago on Google
    First time. Very helpful team. Bargains, neither here nor there if you break it down price per item. However handy if you have space for bulk buy, or want bakery/platter items for parties.

  • 4/5 Dayle V. 9 months ago on Google
    Very busy, fuel still cheapest in area. Prices quite expensive for a wholesaler, as with all food shops prices up by a 25% at least. You have to have a really good look round to find the bargains. New membership after downloading the appz and filling in the form along with a picture. I was told at the door to join a very large queue to obtain a digital membership. At nearly 30 degs temp i gave that a miss and used my old membership card.

  • 5/5 Lisa C. 10 months ago on Google
    Always a great experience in this store, great range of things, especially the seasonal aisles. Staff are lovely and the food from the cafe is full of flavour, great quality and really good prices. If you know when to go, you can avoid the queues as well

  • 5/5 vishnu k. 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing shoping Experience.But if you are from far away .,just try to buy in bulk.Most of the products are less priced compare to other stores ,even for branded items.some products are same as other places. And if you are exhausted,just get a pizza from Costco cafe .It's cheap and more Quantity.Nothing more to say.

  • 5/5 Russ 11 months ago on Google
    Great Place to stock up on essentials as well as canoes, Designer Watches, Diamond rings and get an eye test at the Opticians! Staff are all really friendly and the Café is great. Still £1.50 for a hotdog and a refillable drink which is bonkers as it's been that price since the 90's! Go in mid-week if you can because this place is a war zone at the weekends with queues everywhere. To be fair they do move pretty quick though.

  • 5/5 Dominic 1 year ago on Google
    This shop is already a place to acquire good groceries at a relatively low price. It’s life saving

  • 5/5 michaelleader 1 year ago on Google
    Once you have paid the annual subscription Costco is a very nice place to shop. I went around 1 pm midweek and that is a busy time. However, no queue for petrol and a 5 minute wait at the till. Everything is good value, Costco don’t sell cheap goods, they sell quality goods cheaper than anywhere else. Happy, efficient and hardworking staff - incredible range of goods.

  • 5/5 Omar R. 1 year ago on Google
    Busy busy busy. Great staff. Great deals and massive queue for food. But well worth it ! Great value ! Could only eat halal. Will be good if chicken was halal :( !

  • 4/5 Janet B. 11 months ago on Google
    The staff here go out of their way to help. Always busy but queues move quickly. I miss the coffees first thing in the morning. It would be 5 stars if they brought them back

  • 5/5 Silvana A. 2 years ago on Google
    I just want to say a massive thank you to the wonderful gentlemen. His name is Andrew, he works on the trolleys, he was so helpful and pleasant. I was unable to lift the water I purchased, he ended up packing my car up. Always lovely staff, but had to mention Andrew. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Albert L. 11 months ago on Google
    This is a members only store in Manchester. My friend who is a member of Costco brought me there and I found lots of products with a good deal. Especially fresh food like meat and chicken. And there is a cafe inside Costco. The famous dish is the hotdog with a soft drink. Nice price and delicious!

  • 1/5 BoBo 1 year ago on Google
    Multiple malfunction refiling fuel station with no sign prior to entering causing long queues. Unacceptable services especially when we have to pay for the membership

  • 5/5 Linda W. 1 year ago on Google
    Love it here. Got most of Christmas shopping done but chose wrong day to go. Was crammed, black Friday. Hey ho. Got everything I wanted and more. Fantastic shop, and great staff. (Also love the samples.... haha). 10 stars. X

  • 4/5 Andrew W. 2 years ago on Google
    Has all your bulk buying needs. Some are of good value when compared to supermarkets. Some not so so make sure you know your prices before you visit. It is member only do you'll need to belong to certain businesses to join and it does get very busy on weekends

  • 4/5 Paul B. 1 year ago on Google
    Reliable and varied low cost shopping. Pay an annual sub and you have access not only to bulk shopping, but also subsidised fuel — which, in the current energy climate is invaluable. Decent and changing selection of white goods, drink and food inside.

  • 4/5 Zoe B. 1 year ago on Google
    Got some fab products so very cheap some prices are expensive. Fuel good price. Fab place to start a bit of xmas shopping and get food clothes and electric products from. The only thing i think would help is to have an announcement when it was closing they just turn the lights of on you. But will be going again to get some bargains well worth have a membership.

  • 5/5 Julian 1 year ago on Google
    Well run, well kept premises. Considering how busy they are the staff are always polite and friendly. - I just wish they'd open more tills when it's busy! Don't think I've seen more than 3 open at a time. The canteen does some great food but they're under staffed too. Waited 45 minutes in the queue for a pizza the other week.

  • 5/5 Ehren P. 2 years ago on Google
    First time entering the lawless land that is Costco. A great experience for anyone who asks the question: does this item come in bundles of 20? Good prices and the workers looked like top troopers despite clearly understaffed. Great experience overall and I'm happy to say it's the best chance to go how I've always wanted... Death by cheese
