Costco’s Gas Strategy Revealed | Business and Finance News

Costco’s gas stations are exploding in popularity as prices climb — hitting record demand and becoming the busiest fueling spots ever. While national gas use stays flat due to high prices, Costco’s sales are surging with double-digit growth, thanks to consistently lower prices — often 9 cents cheaper per gallon than local chains. But it’s not just about the pump: Costco’s strategy is to lure members in, knowing that half who fill up also shop inside, boosting overall spending and membership renewals. The real win? That membership fee — the backbone of Costco’s billions — keeps them thriving. So next time you’re at the pump, remember: it’s a clever retail trap — go in with a list and resist the aisles if you want to truly save.
