warehouse store
Membership discount outlet
A warehouse store is a large retail establishment that sells goods in bulk at discounted prices, typically requiring a paid membership for access.
These stores—Costco and Sam's Club being the most prominent examples—operate in vast, no-frills buildings where products are often displayed on pallets or industrial shelving.
The business model trades atmosphere for savings: We bought a year's worth of paper towels at the warehouse store.
