Costco plans to increase membership fees, possibly as early as next year, following the lead of its competitor Sam’s Club.

Since March, the company’s CFO Richard Galanti has mentioned the possibility of a fee increase to membership subscriptions in monthly earnings calls. In the latest call with investors Dec. 8, he said it was “a question of when, not if.”
