The Costco story begins in 1976, when entrepreneur Sol Price introduced a groundbreaking retail concept in San Diego, California. Price Club was the world’s first membership warehouse club, a place where efficient buying and operating practices gave members access to unmatched savings.
At first, Price Club was limited exclusively to business members, who could purchase a wide range of supplies and wholesale items. Jim Sinegal, the executive vice-president of merchandising, distribution and marketing, was instrumental in fine-tuning the merchandise and marketing strategies, helping to turn Price Club into a success story that changed the face of retailing worldwide.
Seven years later, Jim Sinegal channeled his expertise into co-founding Costco Wholesale with Jeff Brotman, and together they opened the first warehouse in Seattle, Washington in 1983.
Over the next decade, both Price Club and Costco Wholesale continued to innovate and grow, and in 1993, the two mega-retailers merged, creating a gifted leadership team that soon made Costco the world’s most successful warehouse club.
Today, as the company evolves, it stays true to the qualities that helped attract and retain millions of loyal members around the globe:
Costco serves more than 10 million members across Canada, and is one of the nation’s largest retailers, averaging CDN$25 billion in sales per year.

This is from their founder Darren Jordan “Patients diagnosed with ASD have always been part of the demographic I work with. Approximately nine years ago my son Quincy, was diagnosed with ASD at the age of three years old. In the twinkling of an eye, I went from service provider to service recipient. While on my break at the hospital I work at I made an impromptu call to Autism Edmonton. The person I reached on the other end was excellent. She listened then proceeded to impart some general information. At one point she stopped herself then began to give me the straight goods on how to navigate,” The System”. She gave us a clearer direction that saved us a great deal of time. Rather than entering through a series of agencies and services that wouldn’t meet our families needs the way we needed them to she helped refine that process. I’ve never forgotten that moment and when 5 Artists 1 Love grew to the point where we could endorse an organization in a meaningful way it had to be Autism Edmonton. Each event we put on has AE present. We hope to facilitate awareness of autism as well as provide fundraising opportunities for the organization. I have seen the vital work Autism Edmonton has provided for families over the years. My own family is now one of those fortunate enough to benefit from there support and resources.
