Warehouse stores like Costco and Sam's Club are extremely popular in the United States and Brazil, particularly among middle and upper-middle class consumers seeking bulk discounts. In Brazil, these stores have become increasingly prevalent in major metropolitan areas. The membership model is a distinctive feature that differentiates these retailers from traditional supermarkets, and membership fees are a significant aspect of the business model in both countries.
