Immediate difference in Costco is that Costco is a multi story building: 2 floors for the warehouse and 5+ for the parking lot.
Coming on a Wednesday late afternoon, the complex was still plenty busy. 이모 explains how the weekend packs the wide aisles of Costco. There's 4 Costcos to service to 10 million Seoulites so it's to be expected.

| Meat section is much more diverse with the different cuts available |
 |
| Korean ingenuity of having slope escalators between floors that can also transport shopping carts without rolling |
 |
| The wheels of the shopping cart lock into the grids of the escalators to stop rolling |
The sections are Costco are the same as America, but divided with non-food items on the 1st floor and food on the 2nd. As far as the products, the Kirkland Costco brands offered identical packaging and products with marked up prices, but the majority of products and brands were things I have not seen specifically before but I could think of an American parallel.

| The sample line for some kind of meat. Wonder if it was worth the wait. |
 |
| Products are marketed straight for Korean |
 |
| Costco food is just as popular. Slightly marked up prices. |
