 PROFILE
Wal-Mart isn't the biggest in "every" business. Costco Wholesale (formerly Costco Companies) is the largest wholesale club operator in the US (ahead of Wal-Mart's Sam's Club). The company operates more than 300 membership warehouse stores serving more than 30 million members in the eastern and western US, Canada, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, and the UK, primarily under the Costco Wholesale name. Stores offer discount prices on 3,700 to 4,500 products (many in bulk packaging), ranging from alcoholic beverages and appliances to fresh food, pharmaceuticals, and tires. Certain club memberships also offer products and services such as car and home insurance and mortgage services.
