PROSPECTS

Warehouse clubs remains a bright spot in US store-based retailing

In 2019, warehouse clubs was one of the best-performing retail channels across all of store-based retailing in the US. Even as e-commerce continued to record impressive gains in the nation’s overall retail mix, customers continued to flock to physical warehouse club outlets in droves in order to buy goods, usually in bulk, at substantially lower prices than those found at most other retailers.

After a year of decline, warehouse clubs’ store count returns to positive growth

US warehouse clubs’ streak of year-on-year gains in store count came to an end in 2018, when the number of warehouse club outlets in the country ticked downwards for the first time in the entire review period. In 2019, however, growth in the channel again resumed its upward trajectory.

US warehouse clubs chains get serious about click-and-collect in 2019

While warehouse club chains have been slower to embrace the possibilities offered by e-commerce than many other US retailers, the rapid growth in online sales of foods and beverages in the country over the last few years has made it clear to warehouse club operators that they must develop their digital sales capabilities if they wish to thrive as going concerns into the 21st century. As a result, over the last two years, US warehouse club banners have begun making significant strides in building out their omnichannel capabilities.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Costco revisits an old strategy to help reduce checkout times

Costco Wholesale Corp is the dominant player in the warehouse clubs channel in the US. It is also one of the most popular retailers, of any type, in the entire country; the banner’s customers – or, more precisely, its members – love the incredibly competitive prices on offer in its stores on a huge array of different products.

Sam’s Club opens its first cashierless store

Despite playing second fiddle to Costco Wholesale Corp in terms of sales, Sam’s Club tends to be at the cutting edge of the US warehouse clubs channel in terms of technological innovation. This is because Sam’s Club is owned by Walmart Inc, the largest retailer in the US (and the world) by sales, which has poured billions of dollars into developing its own technology infrastructure and e-commerce sales capabilities over the last few years.

BJ’s heads west

Unlike its larger rivals Costco Wholesale Corp and Sam’s Club (the latter of which is owned by Walmart Inc), BJ’s Wholesale Club Inc – the smallest of the US warehouse club banners – does not have a national profile. Instead, it is more of a regional player, with locations concentrated in the states that sit along the Atlantic seaboard of the US, with additional outlets located in the state of Ohio.
