In plain English
Costco runs a membership-only warehouse club: 81 million paying members pay an annual fee to shop a deliberately tiny range of bulk goods sold at razor-thin markups. The real profit engine is that membership fee (renewed by ~90% of members), not the goods — and the in-house Kirkland Signature brand, made by the same factories behind the national brands, is now a ~$90B business in its own right.
