warehouse clubs
Membership discount stores
Warehouse clubs are retail stores that sell merchandise in bulk at discounted prices to members who pay annual fees.
The stores operate in large, no-frills buildings with goods often displayed on pallets or industrial shelving.
Costco and Sam's Club are the dominant American examples.
We buy paper towels at the warehouse club because it's cheaper per roll.
