Why I’m standing with President Obama
from Obama 2012 Blog
When my partner Jeff Brotman and I opened our first warehouse in Seattle in 1983, we started with nothing but our own initiative and our personal credit cards that we used to pay for our startup expenses.
Almost 30 years later, we have 605 stores and 160,000 employees—Costco is America's second largest retailer, and as you probably know, the foundation of our business is serving small entrepreneurs with everyday products folks need to run a business.
