The image, if you want, the average grocery store anywhere in the United States
If you wander in one at the end of this week and ask your colleagues from if something else they prefer to do, it is possible that the overwhelming answer is yes.

They may tell you their weekly journey to the supermarket. They prefer hunting, watching TV, gardening, and for people who really hate shopping – perhaps even get the root channel.
However, this is definitely not the case in Costco ((Assign)) Or Wall Mart ((WMT)) Sam Club.
If you are going to wander in one of them this weekend, it is possible that most shoppers will tell you that there is no place in the world preferring to be.
It will mean this.
Costco and Sam’s Club have sincere followers. Their members are fierce worshipers who spend several hours every month looking for corridors looking for the best deals on basic elements – such as organic products and high -quality meat – and for new tools.

Grocery stores have a unique business model
Part of the reason that customers go to groceries in Warehouse is because they are clearly different from running the grocery store.
While traditional supermarkets provide a lot of diversity. The average grocery store carries between 15,000 to 60,000 elements, or SKU.
But many of these elements are either loss leaders or provide a very small value for the summary.

- Walmart adds Baker’s New Genus products to take over Costco
- Walmart, Lowe’s Giveing Guiling Gail Gaels for the spring season
- Walmart restores the main crown (but Costco is coming for that)
- Walmart changes a delivery service
Consider, for example, the cost of storing more than 10 different types of pasta sauce, crackers or chips – all perished within a short period of time.
On the other hand, Warehouse grocery stores carry a much lower product.
But what these retailers lack the diversity they compensate for the price.
SAM’s Club and Costco buys their stocks in large quantities, allowing them to negotiate prices and transfer these discounts to consumers.
In addition, many of these commodities are usually sold under special signs, which customers often descend as the best price of the price.
The Sam Club is making another competitive step
When it comes to market share, Costco tends to be more popular than Sam’s Club.
Costco accounts for more than 60 % of the warehouse market, while the Sam’s club is less than a third.
Costco is also dominated in size. It has more than 600 stores throughout the United States

However, the Sam club is expanding in a fast clip of about 30 new stores per year.
Now, the Sam’s Club is taking another competitive step to take over its biggest competitor.
Warehouse Club announced that it will extend the dining hall hours to keep up with the demand for consumers. The new hours will be:
- From Monday to Saturday: from 10 am to 8 pm
- Sunday: from 10 am to 6 pm
Sam’s Club also allows the pizza available to receive Curbside. Many customers report that their pizza is better than Costco’s, which has its own food court worship to follow its low prices and high quality.
