For now, Costco is not raising the fee for members of its warehouse club, CFO Richard Galanti said Thursday. The company last increased its fee in 2017 from $55 to $60 for a basic one-year membership. The Issaquah, Washington, mega-retailer told investors Thursday that, for the time being, it would not raise the annual fee for its Gold Star membership from $60. Over 30 million households have Costco's $120 Executive Membership, and Galanti said Executive members represent nearly three-quarters of the company's total sales.
