Expertise

Our client base spans from emerging U.S. brands to international companies looking to break into the Costco market. We understand how to bridge cultural and logistical gaps, enabling overseas suppliers to meet Costco’s requirements and connect with U.S. buyers. Whether you’re a domestic manufacturer or an international exporter, we have the experience to position your product for success in Costco’s system.

At the same time, we place a strong emphasis on Costco’s Food & Sundries division, which covers groceries and everyday household goods. This segment alone accounts for nearly 40% of Costco’s total revenue, making it a critical arena for any brand seeking growth. Our specialization in food and sundries gives you a partner with deep category knowledge in what is Costco’s largest sales driver. Notably, a majority of Costco’s own Kirkland Signature products fall into the food and sundries – highlighting how central these goods are to Costco’s strategy and to its members. By focusing on this core segment, we ensure your product meets the tastes, quality expectations, and scale required to thrive in Costco’s high-volume environment.

We have a proven track record of launching new items and brands in Costco warehouses. Over the years, we’ve shepherded a wide range of products onto Costco’s shelves
