Who Didn’t Tell Me?

 Have you ever been to let’s say a Restaurant and you later tell someone how good it was?  Then they say oh I’ve been there several times!  My first reaction is why didn’t you tell me?

Like “Who Didn’t Tell Me”?

I felt that way when I went with my friend Paula to the Costco Business Center in Dallas off Hwy 75 and Park Ln a couple of years ago, I went with her and stood there and thought why didn’t you tell me about this place?  It’s has my name written all over it!

The Costco Business Center doesn’t have a bakery or clothes not even Rotisserie chicken it’s mainly in bulk for Restaurants but  the average person can find plenty there believe you me.

I have volunteered to help with the food for my churches Jr High and High School summer camp the last 2 years.  Jr Higher’s come the first part of the week, Sunday-Wednesday morning then the High School comes Wednesday evening and go home Saturday morning.

We cook 400 meals a day breakfast, lunch and dinner!  It’s alot of fun and a bit tiring but worth it, we have a great crew of volunteers!

I lead the kitchen crew and decide how much food is needed for the week. At the Costco Business Center they have 24-36 dozen ct eggs, meat in large portions like 10-20 lbs, 300 pieces of bacon in a box to regular gallons of milk.  Oh and many selections of Cheeses and 5 lb bags of various shredded cheese.  Pretty much like a Restaurant Depot but nicer and actually cheaper on most things.

Then their dry goods and canned items are pretty much like a regular Costco, however they do have things that the average Costco doesn’t have. One example is they have about 10 different coffee brands to choose and tons of unique candy in bulk.  Like fun kid candy but also your average everyday candy.  Cookies and snack type package foods plus things like Little Debbie’s.

Lots of cleaning supplies, paper supplies like toilet paper and paper towels.  Take out containers, chaffing pans, brooms, mops and the list goes on.

It’s nice to be able to get almost everything at one place for a large crowd or things for home.

Their veggie section is smaller I feel than your average Costco but their drink area has tons of variety!  Like I don’t drink Monster Energy drinks but they have at least 10 flavors same with Celsius and Red Bull many flavors… I drink none of those but they have variety. Then they have all the soft drinks you can think of and a few extra beverages.

Best thing is if you have a regular Costco card you’re in, requires no special card.  It’s truly fun to just walk around to see what they have.

If you have a Costco Card and find yourself in that area, check it out.  Basically it’s across the Highway from NorthPark Mall.
