而在全球的Costco銷售版圖中,台灣獲利驚人!據Costco亞太區總裁張嗣漢就透露,在亞洲獲利前5名的分店,台灣的台中店、台北內湖店及新北中和店就拿走前三名,其中,2007年開幕的台中南屯店更是Costco獲利第一名的「店王」,營運更不受2020年台中二店「北屯店」開幕影響,而台中店和第二名的內湖店,年營收早就都是突破1百億元的百億店。

好市多更在台灣擁有3百萬死忠會員,每逢新品、熱銷品補貨,更在社團上透過口碑效應傳播,甚至引發搶購熱潮。而台灣好市多會員平均客單價3000元,更是其他賣場的3倍;而是否受到疫情影響營收呢?最嚴重的2020年、2021年營收分別突破1000億、近1200億元,年獲利逾50億元,可說是見證台灣顧客驚人消費力!
