Last week's trivia answer

I trace my roots to 1976, when Price Club began selling just to businesses. Today I'm a no-frills retailer for members only, selling everything from wine to socks, books, luggage, tires, candy, coffins and cans of creamed corn. Based in the state of Washington, I operate more than 500 locations worldwide, employing 137,000 people. My average store size is 141,000 square feet. I sport more than 50 million card-carrying members and more than 27 million households. I raked in $64 billion in fiscal 2007. My stock has more than doubled in the past five years. Who am I?
