Costco Wholesale Corporation, doing business as Costco, is an American multinational corporation that operates a chain of membership-only warehouse clubs. Costco has a total of 546 stores in the US. With the terrifying coronavirus outbreak, people have been doing ‘panic shopping’ that is stocking up things as they fear that what if these supermarkets also get lockdown as other stores and organisations. But Costco is making sure to keep all their stores open for their customers as long as the location is rendered to be providing a safe shopping experience for all their customers as well as the staff.
