  • Book sections at 500 of Costco's 600 stores will be removed, according to Yahoo Finance. Instead of selling the books year-round, shoppers may only spot them at Costco during the holiday season, from September to December, the New York Times reported in June.

The change reflects broader retail trends where physical books are becoming less of a staple in big-box stores.
