Costco.com on Commerce Server

  • Article

Feels great to share the news that the 5th largest retailer in US (by fiscal year revenues) is now using Commerce Server to drive their Costco.com online store. If you needed to know whether Commerce Server can perform well at the top of the tier - well, here's your proof!

As an aside - did you know that the most expensive item ever sold at Costco has been a $235,000 diamond ring!? And that they sold 22 million rotisserie chickens last year! Talk about range of items being sold. Quite amazing. Read up more about these and some other interesting facts about Costco in this article.

Update: Just had to share this cool factoid - the price of the Costco hot dog and soft drink combo has been $1.50 for the past 19 years. What's all that talk about inflation? :)

    Actually the cost use to be 1.00 for a can of pop and a drink. That was less that 19 years ago. I've been in seattle for 13+ years and I remember going to costco with my fellow nerds becase it was affordable and great!
