Is Costco Launching its Own Video Subscription Service?
Everything we know so far.
How about a movie night with that seven-pound jug of Nutella and all of your favorite Kirkland Signature snacks? Costco, at your service.
According to a recent piece by Alex Sherman for CNBC, the warehouse club is said to be having talks with media executive Mark Greenberg "about building out a video [streaming] service geared toward average Americans." Previously, Greenberg had been chatting with Walmart regarding a similar service, which has since been nixed, as Walmart continues to pursue working on its Vudu streaming platform. Currently, there are no further details about a potential launch date or shows that will be on the yet-to-be-announced service. Costco has also not made an official comment.
