Costco is not alone in this model. The warehouse club's membership model works a lot like Amazon.com's (NASDAQ:AMZN) Prime program. Consumers pay the online retailer $99 a year (or $10.99 a month) to get access to free, two-day shipping, the company's streaming video service, and a host of other perks.

Instead, Costco demolishes old buildings or builds on greenfields.
