Pallet-able produce
Costco merchandises all of its produce off of pallets. The Tustin store sells about 100 types of fresh produce.
Organic growth
The store offers about 20 organic produce items, which account for about 5% of produce sales. Organic is a growing category, although sometimes the store has difficulties getting organic produce at the volume it needs, said Borgens.
Keeping cool
A separate cool room houses produce that must be stored at a lower temperature.
Say cheese
A selection of private label cheeses.
On a roll
The bakery sells large bags of pretzel rolls.
Feeling crabby
Packaged seafood includes whole crabs, lobsters and fresh trout.
Winning wines

The Tustin store sells $90,000 of fine wine per week.
