The warehouse club has not been negatively affected by the growth of digital retailers, In fact, Costco has shown that it can co-exist with Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), with neither company hurting the other.

Research from GfK, which eMarketer first reported on, showed that the people willing to pay Amazon $99 a year for Prime's free shipping (and other perks) join warehouse clubs such as Costco in higher numbers than non-members do.
