Costco Wholesale Corporation - COST information
Costco Wholesale Corporation (“Costco” or the “Company”) began operations in
1983 in Seattle, Washington. In October 1993, we merged with The Price Company,
which had pioneered the membership warehouse concept, to form Price/Costco,
Inc., a Delaware corporation. In January 1997, after the spin-off of most of our
non-warehouse assets to Price Enterprises, Inc., we changed our name to Costco
Companies, Inc. On August 30, 1999, we reincorporated from Delaware to
Washington and changed our name to Costco Wholesale Corporation. Our common
stock trades on the NASDAQ under the symbol “COST.”
General
We operate membership warehouses based on the concept that offering our members
very low prices on a limited selection of nationally branded and selected
private-label products in a wide range of merchandise categories will produce
high sales volumes and rapid inventory turnover. ... More..."http://secfilings.nasdaq.com/edgar_conv_html%2f2007%2f10%2f25%2f0001193125-07-225805.html#FIS_BUSINESS" ...
