Kirkland Signature Peanuts

Product Background & Origin

Kirkland Signature Peanuts (specifically Virginia Peanuts / extra-large roasted peanuts) are a signature pantry and snack staple offered by Costco Wholesale. The Kirkland Signature private label was launched in 1995 by Costco, named after the city of Kirkland, Washington, which served as the location of Costco's corporate headquarters at the time.

Manufacturing & Sourcing

As visible on the label ('Product of the USA / Produit des É.-U.'), these peanuts are grown, processed, and packed in the United States. Costco partners with major American agricultural and nut-roasting companies—frequently sourcing extra-large runner or Virginia peanuts—to package and sell them under the Kirkland Signature brand across North America, including Costco warehouses throughout Canada.

Ownership & Distribution

Kirkland Signature is the proprietary private-label brand owned exclusively by Costco Wholesale Corporation, an American multinational retail corporation headquartered in Issaquah, Washington. In Canada, the products are imported and distributed by Costco Wholesale Canada Ltd., based in Ottawa, Ontario.
