Sales increased 34% between 2019 and 2023, totaling $236.3 billion. Costco dominates not only in the club channel, but beyond, with its famous private label Kirkland Signature threading more than 300 products. But Sam's Club, which consolidated its private labels in 2017, is a serious contender trying to catch up with its brand Member's Mark. Chapters: 0:00 Introduction 1:29 Chapter 1.
