Costco Wholesale is a membership-based American multinational retailer that operates as a warehouse club. Founded in 1983 by James Sinegal and Jeffrey H. Brotman, it has grown into one of the world's largest retailers.

The store offers a wide range of products including fresh produce, meats, dairy products, electronics, clothing, home goods, and more. It is known for providing high-quality products at discounted prices, often in large quantities. Members can purchase items such as food, household supplies, and personal care products, along with many other types of merchandise.

Its business model focuses on selling a wide selection of products in bulk to customers who pay an annual fee to shop there. This membership-based approach allows the company to keep costs low by minimizing advertising expenses and passing the savings on to its members.

In addition to its everyday low prices, Costco is also known for providing services such as pharmacy services, optical centers, and tire centers within its stores. Members can also take advantage of special promotions and discounts on various products.

Costco's business model has been successful in a variety of markets around the world. The company operates over 800 warehouse clubs globally, with locations in several countries including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, and South Korea among others.
