Costco is no longer going to offer books for sale year-round.
Instead they will stock them only for the holiday shopping period and during special promotions.
The company is looking to cut back on labour costs associated with stocking books, which is often done by hand. Unlike books, many of Costco’s other products are rolled out on a pallet. Staff also have to devote considerable manpower to put new books on display every week when they are released for sale while returning old books that went unsold.
