(#19) Price Club and Costco Were Once Two Different Stores
Remember Price Club?! It's okay, sometimes we try to forget certain parts of the '80s, too. But Price Club is the granddaddy of all members-only retailers. Sol Price founded Price Club in 1976 in San Diego, CA. Under the "tutelage of" Mr. Price, James Sinegal co-founded Costco with Jeff Brotman. In 1993, Price Club and Costco merged. -
(#17) Use the Costco Cash Card Without Being a Member
Not a Costco member? Don't go cutting up that Costco cash card your grandma got you for Christmas! The members only rule is strict, but having one of these cash cards is like finding a golden ticket in your chocolate bar.

(#11) Costco Is One of the Biggest Pizza Chains in America
Sorry Domino's - no pizza place in the country is serving up more slices than Costco is. Almost all of Costco's more than 400 stores in the US have a food court, which are slingin' 'zas all day long, selling the most pies in the country. -
(#16) Costco Ranks #3 on the Nation's Top Retailers Chart
Costco came in third on the National Retail Federation's Top 100 Retailers Chart of 2014. Could it be their simplistic, minimalistic approach to retail? Perhaps. Or maybe it's the bottomless samples and the $1.50 hotdog combo? Either way, it's nice to see a business we can back ranking so high on the country's retailers chart. (Wal-Mart and Kroger came in at #1 and #2, respectfully.)
