YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Clothing may not be the first thing that comes to mind when shoppers think about Costco, but its apparel sales are more than some of the biggest brands like Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and Old Navy. It has grown the category more than 40% over the past five years, which is significantly more than its competitors Sam’s Club and BJ’s. Costco has even now found itself facing a lawsuit by Lululemon for allegedly “duping” its products. Watch the video to learn how Costco has become a major player in the fashion world.
