Industry Information

Operating more than 760 membership warehouse stores, Costco is the nation's largest wholesale club operator (ahead of Wal-Mart's SAM'S CLUB). Primarily under the Costco Wholesale banner, it serves nearly 95 million cardholders in some 45 US states, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico, and about 10 other countries. Stores offer discount prices on some 3,700 products (many in bulk packaging), ranging from alcoholic beverages and appliances to fresh food, pharmaceuticals, and tires. Certain club memberships also offer products and services, such as car and home insurance, real estate services, and travel packages. Costco generates most of its sales in the US.
