The History of Costco

The company's first location, opened in 1976 under the Price Club name, was in a converted airplane hangar on Morena Boulevard in San Diego. Originally serving only small businesses, the company found it could achieve far greater buying clout by also serving a selected audience of non-business members. With that change, the growth of the warehouse club industry was off and running. In 1983, the first Costco warehouse location was opened in Seattle. Costco became the first company ever to grow from zero to $3 billion in sales in less than six years. When Costco and Price Club merged in 1993, the combined company, operating under the name PriceCostco, had 206 locations generating $16 billion in annual sales.

Our operating philosophy has been simple. Keep costs down and pass the savings on to our members. Our large membership base and tremendous buying power, combined with our never-ending quest for efficiency, result in the best possible prices for our members. Since resuming the Costco name in 1997, the company has grown worldwide with total sales in recent fiscal years exceeding $192 billion.

Costco has brought about a paradigm shift in retailing. Entrepreneur Sol Price introduced a revolutionary retail concept in California. Price Club was the world's first membership warehouse club, providing members access to unmatched savings through efficient purchasing and operational methods.

At the outset, Price Club was restricted to business clients, providing them with a wide array of supplies and wholesale products. Jim Sinegal, the executive vice president overseeing merchandising, distribution, and marketing, played a central role in optimizing the product offerings and marketing strategies, setting the stage for Price Club to become a trailblazing success story in the global retail sector.

With seven years elapsing, Jim Sinegal utilized his expertise to co-find Costco Wholesale with Jeff Brotman, leading to the opening of the first warehouse in Seattle, Washington in 1983.

Over the next decade, both Price Club and Costco Wholesale continued to innovate and grow, and in 1993, the two mega-retailers merged, creating a gifted leadership team that soon made Costco the world's most successful warehouse club. Today, as the company evolves, it stays true to the qualities that helped attract and retain millions of loyal members around the globe: Commitment to quality. Costco warehouses carry about 4,000 SKUs (stock keeping units) compared to the 30,000 found at most supermarkets. By carefully choosing products based on quality, price, brand, and features, the company can offer the best value to members.
