Costco is an American membership "warehouse" type grocery store chain that sells everything from canned hams to home computers. Most items are sold in bulk. They are the second largest retailer in the United States and the third largest in the world. Costco is also the largest membership warehouse club chain in the United States.[1][2]
Like their online competitor Amazon.com, Costco is headquartered in Washington State. Costco is a good place to buy in bulk in order to invest in tangibles.
