Warehouse clubs are particularly popular in the United States and have become increasingly common in Brazil, especially in major cities like São Paulo. In the US, Costco, Sam's Club, and BJ's Wholesale Club are dominant players. In Brazil, Costco has a presence alongside local competitors. The membership-based model is less common in Portugal and Southern Europe, where 'cash and carry' wholesalers are more prevalent. The concept appeals to bulk buyers, families, and small business owners seeking cost savings.
