Costco insider explains why they stock wildly expensive luxury items
Briefly

In a recent interview, Costco's board chair Tony James discussed the surprising success of the warehouse chain's luxury items, including Rolex watches and high-end alcohol like Dom Perignon. James noted that the affluent customers are drawn to good deals, which helps explain why these items move quickly off the shelves. He shared examples like a Porsche dealership selling cars in Costco, underscoring the retailer's unique approach to luxury sales. Additionally, Costco has seen significant interest in items like gold bars, with strong customer reviews contributing to their appeal.
