Company Overview
Costco Wholesale Corporation operates membership warehouses and e-commerce sites in the United States (including Puerto Rico), Canada, Mexico, Japan, the United Kingdom, Korea,… Australia, Taiwan, China, Spain, France, Sweden, Iceland, and New Zealand. The company operated 914 warehouses as of August 31, 2025. Costco's business model is based on offering low prices on a limited selection of nationally-branded and private-label products in a wide range of categories, which produces high sales volumes and rapid inventory turnover. With volume purchasing, efficient distribution, and reduced handling in no-frills warehouse facilities, Costco operates profitably at significantly lower gross margins than most other retailers. Core merchandise categories include Foods and Sundries, Non-Foods, and Fresh Foods. Warehouse ancillary services include gasoline, pharmacy, optical, food court, hearing aids, and tire installation. Other businesses include e-commerce (approximately 7% of net sales in 2025), business centers, and Costco Travel. The company sold gasoline representing approximately 10% of total net sales in 2025. Executive members represented 73.6% of worldwide net sales penetration. The company employs approximately 341,000 employees worldwide, with approximately 95% employed in warehouses and distribution channels.
