Notably, Costco's membership revenue outpaced that of Sam's Club, which reported 3.1 billion U.S. dollars in membership fees for the same year.
Costco continued expanding its workforce significantly in 2022. The company's employee count grew by 16,000 individuals, representing an increase of over five percent compared to the previous year. This brought the total number of employees to 304,000, marking the highest level recorded during the observed period. Notably, Costco has consistently demonstrated a positive trend of employee growth over the past several years.
As a US-based company, Costco's largest market in 2021 was unsurprisingly the United States. Generating over 138 billion U.S. dollars in net sales, the U.S. market accounted for a significant portion of Costco's overall revenue that year, reinforcing its position as a dominant player in the American retail landscape. While headquartered in the US, Costco has a significant international presence. In addition to its vast network of 614 stores within the United States, the company operated 108 locations in Canada in 2024. This made Canada the second-largest market for Costco that year. Furthermore, Costco had a footprint of over 40 stores in Mexico during the same period.
