Costco

Costco Wholesale Corporation is a corporation that runs a chain of big-box stores which resemble warehouses and sell a wide variety of wholesale products. Groceries, appliances, baked goods, electronics, apparel, and books are among the types of products offered within Costco warehouses. Many branches also offer optical services, gas stations, tire garages, or photo processing services. The majority of Costco’s warehouses are in the company’s domestic market of the United States; however, the company also operates in a number of markets worldwide.

Warehouse club

Warehouse clubs offer a more limited range of products than a traditional supermarket and aim to attract shoppers who wish to save money by buying in bulk. Shoppers need to have a membership and pay a fee to be able to shop in warehouse clubs like Costco. Other examples of warehouse club retailers include Sam’s Club and BJ’s wholesale.
