It's separate from regular Costco warehouse. There are only 14 locations in the entire US. There's not one near you. The closest one to you on the east coast is in New Jersey. Most are located out west in California and Washington. The business center cater toward business customers and have products not normally found in regular Costco warehouses. It's where you can also find bone-in short ribs.

can you get in with a regular costco membership ?

My biggest complaint with those cuts are that they're too thin. I'm sure it was all a balance of quantity over quality for the sales presentation. I bought about 6 of those strips @ 2lbs for $14. They had other packs with 3lbs of short ribs that were the same thickness... I just prefer them to be thicker so you get more meat per cut piece, as it was the first time I ever tried them in a real fancy restaurant that had something to prove.
lol. My complaint about Sam's Club flaken cut short ribs are they're cut too thick for direct grilling and too thin for smoking. So it's like in no man's land and it's best prepared braised or pressure cooked. Also I'm pretty picky with the quality of the short ribs. It has to have the right thickness and meat/marbling.

Yes. You can enter any and all Costco locations anywhere in the world with regular membership.
i'm like 10 min away from my local costco business center. I didn't even know it was operating as the parking lot looks pretty empty. They opened up another one couple towns over and that one is bustling. I thought it just moved to the new larger location. I'll have to check it out.

The business center is well worth checking out at least once. You probably won't find any sirloin caps unless you get lucky but you might find some discounted expiring meats if you're lucky.

too bad regular costcos don't discount expiring meat.
or my local Costco sells so fast?
