About

In 1983 Costco was born, merging with Price Club a decade later to become the retail giant we know today. What set Costco apart wasn’t just its bulk goods or low prices. It was its unwavering commitment to value. From the legendary $1.50 hot dog combo (unchanged since 1985) to its no-frills warehouses. Costco built a loyal following by putting customers first. 

Do the right thing.

Since our founding, Costco has operated under the guiding principle of doing the right thing – for our members, our employees, our suppliers, our communities, and the environment. We understand that when we do the right thing, good things happen.
