The Meat Department At A Costco Business Center Is Genuinely A Sight To Behold
By Elias Nash
Unlike Costco's standard wholesale stores, which cater to families, Costco Business Centers are designed to supply restaurants, convenience stores, and other small businesses.
The bulk products here make a standard Costco look laughable in comparison. Everything's bigger in a Costco Business Center, especially the meat department.
A typical Costco warehouse already has a big meat department that occupies most of the back of the store, but it looks minuscule compared to the offerings at a Business Center.
These stores stock so much meat that they need to build room-sized walk-in refrigerators just to store it all. It's safe to say that it's nothing like the standard store.
The temperature in the meat department is extremely low, and the supply is overwhelming, with giant cuts of beef and pork piled on tables in the middle of the room.
However, Costco Business Centers don't offer most of the products, like gas, electronics, books, clothing, jewelry, pharmaceuticals, or home goods, that the standard stores carry.
