Costco Thrives Amid Tariffs and Economic Uncertainty

Costco, a big store, did well even though the economy is a little shaky and there are tariffs (extra taxes on imported goods).

They made more money than expected!

They're good at finding ways to deal with tariffs, like getting products from different places.

Costco is keeping prices down on things like pineapples and bananas.

They are lowering prices of staples and expanding gas service hours.

This is because their customers are usually richer.

Costco's online sales and store traffic also grew.

They sell lots of Kirkland brand items and are doing more online.

They make some items locally and try to keep costs down where they can to make people happy.
