    Massive Costco store in Leicester, you can literally find anything to buy in the store, from electrical goods like; TV, computers, lights, hi-fi, security system, doorbells, washing machines, hoovers, cookers, microwaves, coffee machines, blenders, etc. Also, jewellery, clothing for any ages. Food ~ cooked food, fresh meats, ready meals, fish, meats, snacks, drinks, cakes, vegetables, fruits, Christmas sweets / wines/ hampers, food from around the world. Pet supplies for dogs, cats, birds & more. Toys. Books. Garden items. Holiday / leisure products. Toiletries & supplements. Seasonal products ~ at the mo, they have lots of Christmas toys, clothings, food / hampers / food gifts, decorations, Christmas trees & lots more Christmas related items. Also opticians / glasses in store. Really almost everything …. Oh an on-site fast food restaurant with tables & seats to serve yummy pizzas, pies, jacket potatoes, ice creams, drinks at a really bargain price. Lots of staff in store as it’s so big, but they are not in your face, you have the freedom to browse as long as you would like to. Check out staff are always polite and helpful. Price, personally don’t find them extremely cheap like years ago, and everything is either so big or in bulk packs. Store is clean, masks and hand sanitizer are back, staff at entrance to make sure everyone follows rules, which is nice to see and help to protect staff and customers. Plenty of free parking, with disabled parking spaces available too, they are all big spaces, so easy to park. Costco also do tyres on site. Costco online does bed / mattress, car hiring, blinds, garden conservatory and more and more…. Need memberships to benefit all these & they also do a shopping scheme to get money back / extra discounts. Love Costco 👍🏻

    I’m kinda new to Costco Only just got a card. I went to one in Manchester and was impressed. What do these guys don’t sell !! Came here to get some general things and get a pizza This place was abit smaller but the same layout. Didn’t have any toys tho 😟 Walked around the bakery section abit more and it’s really good value for money. Deffo be coming here for party food. Also noticed the sample section. Which reminded me of what you see in the American movies Some good bargains to get and was really happy at the end of my trip when I guy came and took my trolley after I finished putting my shopping in the car

    I just wanted to say thank you to the staff on the door yesterday, at about 11:30 am. We asked if my support dog can come in, expecting a no, to which we wouldn’t have argued. But the staff were so friendly and not only said no problem but made huge fusses of my dog, who loved the attention. Can’t thank them enough for enabling me to shop feeling safe knowing my dog would be there to alert me if I was about to feel medically unwell. More shops need to be this accepting and understanding. They simply said “sure he’s no different to a guide dog, he’s needed”.

    Good for bulk and smaller purchases. Wide aisles and huge range of items. Meat and fresh produce & fruit very good in my experience. Excellent frozen produce and very wide range of fish and meat. Tills can get busy but usually well managed by staff.

    Petrol is £140.9 a litre at present. This is the cheapest you will find locally. The queue gets quite long for fuel but goes down really quickly. Lots of bargains in store if you are prepared to bulk buy.

    This costco is incredible. So much variety to choose from. It also has a petrol station, but the queue was about 30 minutes when I went so wasn't worth waiting for to save 8p per litre. Will definitely visit again.

    Only for Costco Membership customer. Maximum 5 people including Costco Card holder are allowed with 1 membership card holder. Have visited few times, Its hard to find staffs most of time, and even after finding a staff when you ask them they won’t have clue where that item will be. They would show me directions 🧭 and say May be you will find it there. Staffs definitely needs some sort of store walkthrough. Some items in bulk is cheaper than supermarkets. Fuel is cheaper than other’s fuel stations. You will have to travel and avoid peak times to avoid queue. Entry Card Scanning and exit receipt check is mandatory. Toilet 🚻 available Free parking 🅿️ Coin less shopping 🛒 trolley

    This Costco is exactly like the one in the US at Tigard, Oregon. I was surprised when I walked in that it is just like my one at home. The food is slightly different in the restaurant area. I've never seen Costco have jacket potatoes, let alone jacket potatoes with chili or tuna! Nice Costco, very clean and organized.

    Easy to access, although need to join as a member. Some good deals, some not so good. Ok if you can use the quantities. Cheap fuel.

    Everything you can possibly need from electronics, clothes, fresh food, baked goods, drinks the list goes on. The warehouse is well organised and has lots of helpful staff around. There are also lots of test products available to try and samples of foods and perfumes etc. The store also has its own food and drink store where you can buy fresh slices of pizzas, burgers, hotdogs or even a coffee or some soft serve ice cream. Costco also has the cheapest rates for fuel and members can enjoy sometimes 10 pence less than competitor prices. Being a member at Costco is worthwhile, you have much cheaper fuel and huge savings on all the products.

    A really nice big store that was clean. Plenty of parking. Great choice of products and services from food, clothes, fruit, electrical, jewellery, watches plus more that are very good quality. The bakery has lovely cakes, muffins, croissants, cookies and lots more! Fruit is really fresh. The store has an opticians with some very good deals. You can also buy hot food like jacket potato, pizza, hot dogs, pasties ice cream, tea, coffee and lots more. Take out pizza is £9.99 for a 18" pizza. The store also sells tyres and fuel. Overall a fantastic store with friendly and helpful staff. I'd definitely recommend a visit.

    Why do people have to be members to enter ? I was contemplating becoming a member and paying the £26 fee but wanted to see what I was joining before deciding. (to me a fair thing to do) The experience left me walking away shaking my head. Additionally paying customers treated like cattle. Definitely a sign of our times when people are prepared to experience this nonsense to be used in this way. NO THANKS

  • 4/5 Kiran M. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to shop. Good quality, only thing is you have to buy in large packs.

  • 5/5 Lydia H. 8 months ago on Google
    Love a Costco trip! Membership is worth it just for to benefit from the fuel prices. Always get lots of bargains on books. The bakery section is definitely worth a purchase from!

  • 4/5 Andy S. 11 months ago on Google
    I frequently visit Costco primarily for their affordable fuel deals, despite the often long queues. It's definitely worth the wait. In terms of shopping, I've noticed that the prices for fruits and vegetables are generally higher compared to other supermarkets. However, my kids absolutely love the free treats scattered throughout the store, which adds to the overall experience.

    Always good quality items and friendly staff at this warehouse. Loses 1 star because sometimes there's too many children running around and in front of your trolley - parents should be asked to control their children as a warehouse can be dangerous. I'm not sure why other reviewers on here complain about "pack sizes are too big" - it's called "Costco Wholesale" for a reason, if you don't like it then go to your local supermarket. Others are complaining because of the membership fee. If you've seen the documentaries on YouTube or Netflix, you'll know that this is how they drive up income. Again, if you don't like it, then don't become a member. But I've happily been visiting various warehouses for 20 years+.

    Good place to shop from food to garden ware. Fuel is cheap but the official que to the filling station is a shambles as drivers try and push from other directions even though these individuals are aware of the official drive to the pump.

  • 3/5 Ahmed R. K. 1 year ago on Google
    Tried it for first time today, thought this will be my way to massive budget savings (despite its not being available to everyone except those who met the eligibility criteria plus you pay some annual subscription) It turned out to be saving on big quantities of "branded" goods, but if you're looking for budget goods, Aldi and Lidl still win quite comfortably. The only exception I found was of course its fuel. It wasn't an unpleasant experience though, it is nice and different, gives a sense of American stores, but not really a money saving trip.

  • 1/5 Nassir A. 1 year ago on Google
    I asked one of the stuff to assist me getting my new glasses order at the optician section. He literally said yeah then went to do the shelves for the store glasses I never seen this in my life. And what surprised me is that I was the only customer at the moment it took him around 10 minutes to recognise that I am a client need to be served.

  • 4/5 James M. 1 year ago on Google
    1st time there and really enjoyed the experience. Was pretty busy but I can understand why as there are many great products and offers. Also the no 1 attraction for me was the fuel price is about 15p cheaper than anywhere else

    Id just like to say a huge thank you Sandy who works at the Leicester Costco.. in urgent need of 2 products on the same day she really helped out considering im a customer who travelled from birmingham due to the amount of help she gave! This worker needs a pay rise!!!<3

  • 5/5 Fibonnaci N. 1 year ago on Google
    Great location, plenty of parking and fair prices on items sold and fuel. Best place to get quality meat and veg in large quantity. Check out lines can be long so avoid weekend visits if you can. Same goes for fuel lines, be prepared to wait a while if you go during rush hour weekend times especially now with crazy fuel prices.

  • 4/5 Martin F. 6 months ago on Google
    Good and like the tasting before 5 pm! Don't leave fueling untill after 3 pm on Sunday as long queue! Fuel prices could be better as sometimes only 50p/gall cheaper than local Sainsbury's

  • 1/5 Laura G. 5 months ago on Google
    What an absolute hell hole. Car parking is a nightmare-people queuing for petrol so then it has a huge knock on effect. Literally the rudest place I've been in- thats staff and customers. Queues all the way back to the food Hall and members of staff stood around shouting at customers. Absolutely awful
