Costco vs BJs

Anyone know the comparison ? We have a BJs membership currently but our closest is in the Dorf and I'd just like to avoid that area. Costco is at Brandywine Crossing so I was wondering ??? Brandywine is closer for us and safer !

Costco is better. More of a variety.

Costco in Brandywine would be much better, and especially when you don't have to travel to get there

My Sister shops at Costco and the selection is much better than BJ's (JMO)

Her Costco is located in Frederick and the one in Brandywine might be different.

I would go with Costco to avoid Waldorf.

Scary place to me.

Brandywine safer than waldorf? They are both bad.

My Costco membership dues are coming up this month so I tried a free 60 day pass to BJ's yesterday. I was not impressed at all. I will definitely be renewing with Costco.

I have membership at both. Love Costco so much better but BJ's is a solution when I don't feel like driving to Brandywine if I'm not in the area already. However, I must say I think BJ's has stepped their game up a bit.

Costco all the way! No one understood what I was talking about when I would say what a dump BJ's was compared to Costco...until we got the one in Brandywine and I took them there. Ive had 6 people switch already. Wish they offered some type of reward for that In fact I am taking my girlfriend there this afternoon so she can check it out.
