Investors looking at Costco and Dutch Bros are weighing whether the growth story is still intact. Both companies have expanded their businesses and reported strong recent financial results, though their growth drivers differ: Costco relies on membership fees and a recession-resistant mix of goods, while Dutch Bros is scaling its store footprint and building momentum through same-shop sales.
Costco’s business model centers on annual membership fees that give members access to high-quality, bulk goods at competitive prices. The company also sells groceries and other necessities, which helps make its sales more resilient during economic slowdowns.
In the first six months of fiscal 2026 (ended Feb. 15), Costco reported revenue of $137 billion, up 9% from year-ago levels. That growth rate was above the 6% increase recorded in fiscal 2025. Profit in the first half of fiscal 2026 totaled $4 billion, up 13% year over year, surpassing the 10% yearly growth in fiscal 2025.
Dutch Bros has expanded rapidly and steadily increased its customer base. The company’s “broista” culture is designed to improve the customer experience, while its menu of coffees and other beverages helps it differentiate in a competitive market.
Store growth has been a key part of the strategy. At the end of 2025, Dutch Bros had 1,136 locations, up from 982 a year earlier. The company intends to open 2,029 locations by 2029 and continue growing beyond that point.
In 2025, Dutch Bros generated revenue of more than $1.6 billion, up 28%. Same-shop sales rose 5.6% during the same period. Net income more than doubled to nearly $80 million.
