Join David and Susan Schwartz, a married Jewish couple, on a whirlwind tour of Costco warehouses around the globe. They are two of Costco’s biggest fans yet live in one of NYC’s smallest apartments.
Since 2016, they have been to over 250 of Costco’s 850+ warehouses, plus gotten behind-the-scenes looks at one of the world’s favorite retailers.
Topics are covered in a whimsical A to Z format, using Q & A to delight the more than 128 million Costco members and over 300,000 dedicated Costco employees.
There is a Prologue that describes how the authors came to write and self-publish the book, and a brief narrative history of Costco, dating back to a Jewish San Diego lawyer named Sol Price, who founded Price Club, Costco’s predecessor, and continuing with Costco’s founding by Jim Sinegal, Sol’s protégé, and Jeff Brotman, a Jewish Seattle retailer.
Sample Fun Facts: Costco sells more than half of the world’s cashews and seven times more hot dogs than all MLB stadiums combined.
