Price, along with his father, founded the first discount-shopping club. Initially targeting small businesses, the Price Club opened up memberships to individuals and other organizations who could benefit from bulk/warehouse purchasing discounts. With his business concept, Price spawned a new industry that would produce a new retail landscape including BJ’s Warehouse, Sam’s Club, and Costco.
