Costco: American Wholesale Retailer

Costco started off in Seattle, Washington, in 1983 and in 1993, merged with Price Club, the first retail warehouse club to form PriceCostco. In 1997, the enterprise changed its name to the Costco Wholesale Corporation.

Costco's mission is to offer brand name goods at discount prices to small and medium sized businesses, as well as individuals, through a membership model. The organisation currently has almost 700 warehouses around the globe in Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, and Spain, as well as the UK and its home country of the United States. Costco currently has 84 million cardholders around the world.

Storefinder and Online Shop

Costco merchandises its goods via a chain of more than 25 warehouses around the UK and at its online store at www.costco.co.uk. Only members can shop at warehouses. Anyone can buy online but non-members have to pay a surcharge of 5%.

Shoppers wishing to find physical warehouses can find an up-to-date list on their website. Choose a location from a drop down list or enter your postcode and specify the maximum distance in miles that you wish the store to be within (25-100 miles).

Owing to delivery and handling charges, the prices of items sold online may differ from those sold at physical outlets. Moreover, not all of the items offered on the online store are available at local warehouses.

Opening hours at Costco warehouses vary between branches and are longer for trade customers than for individual customers. As a rule, business hours are 10am to 8:30pm for trade customers, and 12am to 8:30pm for individual shoppers from Monday to Friday, with shorter hours on the weekends.
