It's in the warehouse tab. Not sure if it's accurate since it's still beta. Will visit my local warehouse and validate.

Bro…we are talking about this specific update. Not most apps. Costco chose to roll out this update quietly but it's maybe one of the most helpful features they've added in a long time.

Its about time. I can finally see the prices of items now. Ideally I would not have to search for each item one at a time, and I could see all transparent pricing like BJS or SAMS, but a step in the right direction finally.
There are 4 major retailers with a subscription I can think of: Walmart, samsclub, Amazon, and Costco. Everyone has their preferences. I'm not saying I never go to Costco but I'm not some tribal shill and I'm not here to save humanity by shopping anywhere. Now think of just how many stores including those 4 have had inventory checking via website for YEARS. It reminds me when I worked retail in 2004 and SEARS didn't even have a accurate inventory system on site. I'd sell TVs we didn't even stock and lose money.

100% this ^^, but at least now I have a reason to install the costco app. Costco definitely deserves a golf clap 👏 for this update.
This is helpful to those who shop at Costco
Now if they would only get back to providing real value like they use to be known for...
Possibly a related note: When I'm in the "Shop" section both on an item page and scrolling through items, I can see an "In Stock" indicator but it's for a different warehouse than my designated warehouse that I can see in the light blue bar at the top of the same screen. Anyone else have this issue? Both locations are close to me so it's not a big deal, just seems weird.

Costco employees are some of the only retail employees that are treated with some semblance of humanity, dignity, and decent pay. They do well by their employees. I'm not always a fan of the shopping experience but it feels much better to support Costco than Walmart or Amazon who screw their workers over continuously.
I don't like Costco as far as shopping experience goes HOWEVER I vastly respect the mission statement banner located at the entrance/exit. Take care of customers as #1. Take care of colleagues as #2. And such. Amazon don't have one obviously for all to see lol. Walmart, yes but not as much as Costco but yeah I get what
You're saying
