About Costco
Costco Wholesale Corporation is engaged in the operation of membership warehouses in the United States and Puerto Rico, Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Japan, Australia, Spain, and through its subsidiaries in Taiwan and Korea.
Costco aims to offer its members a broad range of high-quality merchandise at consistently lower prices than they can find elsewhere. To keep inventory costs low, its merchandising strategy is to limit certain items to fast-selling models, sizes, and colors. By doing this, Costco can limit its number of stock keeping units (SKUs) to about 3,700 per warehouse, enabling it to hold significantly fewer items than other discount retailers, supermarkets, and supercenters. Its product lines are not static however, as it continues to expand its own Kirkland Signature brand.
Ancillary businesses within or next to our warehouses provide expanded products and services, encouraging members to shop more frequently. These businesses include gas stations, pharmacies, optical dispensing centers, food courts, and hearing-aid centers.
Along with merchandise management, Costco is focused on expansion. It has opened more than 100 new wholesale clubs in the last five years and has opened 25 new warehouses, including 5 relocations. The company competes on a worldwide basis with global, national, and regional wholesalers and retailers, including supermarkets, supercenters, internet retailers, gasoline stations, hard discounters, department and specialty stores, and operators selling a single category or narrow range of merchandise.
The company's philosophy is to provide its members with quality goods and services at competitive prices.
