SNAPFORWARD

As Costco prepares to make the leap from AMEX to Visa this month, here’s a look at how many stores CSG projects Visa will be servicing. Averaging approximately 20 new stores a year over the last five years, Costco was ambitious in fiscal 2015, adding 35 new locations. The company is catching its breath in 2016, and we see them returning to form with 20+ new locations a year in 2017 and 2018.
