If you’ve never heard of Costco Business Centers, the warehouses are ideal for small business owners because they can buy things in bulk and items that are useful for running a restaurant. However, any Costco membership gets you access to the business centers – whether you actually own a business or not. The caveat is that there aren’t that many business centers, but you can find them near metropolitan areas like Hackensack, New Jersey, Chicago, Illinois, and Orlando, Florida.
In addition to whole lambs and goats, you’ll also find other large meats like 6-pound slices of pastrami and 15 pounds of boneless pork. Other unique items you can snag include packages of plastic take-out containers, kitchen appliances like large baking sheets and mixing bowls, and even ice at some locations. So you really need to secure extra storage space before your first visit to a Costco Business Center. Just in case you buy one of these whole lambs, you might need some of Tasting Table’s best lamb recipes to make it, like lamb burgers. And if you’d rather stick with your regular local stock, brush up on your knowledge of the best and worst meats to buy at Costco, like USDA Prime steaks.
