'''Costco''' (full name ''Costco Wholesale Corporation'' and doing business as ''Costco Wholesale'') is a chain of retail stores that are membership-only discount warehouse clubs. It is as of 2020 the fifth largest retailer in the world, with worldwide headquarters in Issaquah, Washington (with its ''Kirkland Signature'' house label bearing the name of its former location in Kirkland). <br />
<br />
The company opened its first warehouse in Seattle in 1983, though history goes back as far as 1976 under the name '' Price Club''. A purchaser must have a membership in order to purchase from the locations or for the majority of items online. <br />
<br />
==In relation to American Girl==<br />
<br />
Costco initially sold various books and book bundles, such as [[Story Collections]] for [[Historical Collections]], among its many book offerings. It also sold bundles of book collections with [[Mini Dolls]] or mystery puzzle sets, larger versions of the [[Fashion Studios]], and expanded boutique versions of several craft and activity books. <br />
<br />
Starting in 2014, pet bundle accessory sets became available. In 2015, bundles that included various dolls and/or accessory collections began to be sold through Costco. These have included retired character or [[Truly Me]] dolls and/or items, unique doll bundles and specialty items, and/or previously unreleased items. These bundles are primarily sold during the winter holiday season (September to December) when toys and other gifts are available, though some bundles have been available on the website in limited numbers outside of the holiday season. Thus, a set can be considered retired the season after it is available unless it becomes available again. Bundles are sold at notable discounts; on the website, prices are higher than in warehouses (as they include shipping) and some items require membership to purchase or see costs.<ref>For ease, warehouse prices will be prioritized over online prices in this article.</ref> Costco has not sold any American Girl Bundles since the last set in 2023. <br />
