It seems to be a mix between high volume (“hey this seems cheap, let’s buy lots”, plus Costco doesn’t do small sizes), membership fees (free money plus it incentives customer loyalty), and some additional services they offer like handyman type work and some B2B stuff (services from retailers are always marked up crazy high compared to the physical goods).
What do they make money on then? Furniture?
