ASSISTANT VICE PRESIDENT’S NOTE
September sentiments
The coming of fall brings a seasonal shift and time of change that we cannot help but notice. Days get shorter, leaves change colour, students return to school and thoughts turn to cozying up on the cooler nights ahead.
With the coming of this harvest season, so too comes our Kirkland Signature™ Special Section. We have many great items to share with you—from spices and canned meats to baby wipes and more.
Did you know that Canada’s bestselling Kirkland Signature item is our gasoline? This year alone we have sold more than 1 billion litres (264 million gallons)! Combine our great price with the speed of our “Just One Tap” Costco CIBC Costco® Mastercard® and you’re back on the road quickly.
For more than two decades, the Kirkland Signature brand has stood for unparalleled quality and value. We launched our private-label brand so that we could take an active role in ensuring even better value for our members. By taking the lead in sourcing and formulating new products, co-branding with premium brands and partnering with top manufacturers around the world, we’ve created an exclusive range of products that reflects our members’ tastes and exceeds their expectations. We offer these items proudly from our Costco family to yours.
I hope you all enjoy September’s rays of sunshine—and our Costco world!
Coming next issue
We’ll be taking a look at the company Jazwares, which is behind the cuddly and collectable Squishmallows.
