Costco's Lucrative Gold Sales Boom 코스트코의 수지맞는 금 판매 붐
Costco's introduction of gold bars has become a significant revenue stream, with sales estimated at $100 million to $200 million monthly, according to Wells Fargo analysts.
The popularity is attributed to Costco's competitive pricing and strong customer trust.
This has even led to the bars selling like hotcakes online and an increase in momentum since the launch.

The 1-ounce gold bars, priced slightly above the spot price, have attracted buyers amidst a surge in gold prices.
Prices have been buoyed by inflation concerns and geopolitical uncertainties.
While the sales contribute to general merchandise revenue, the low profit margins and additional cashback offers for members do limit bottom-line profits for Costco.
