Kirkland Signature Shelled Hemp Hearts

Kirkland Signature Hemp Hearts are a nutritious plant-based protein source widely available in Costco locations across Canada and the United States. This specific product, identified by its barcode and item number, is predominantly sourced and manufactured in Canada, which is one of the world's leading producers of industrial hemp.

Kirkland Signature is the private-label brand of Costco Wholesale Corporation. The brand was launched in 1992 as a way to provide members with high-quality products at lower prices than national brands. By consolidating various private labels under one name, Costco has built immense brand equity and consumer trust.

As of 2024 and beyond, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of Costco Wholesale Corporation, headquartered in Issaquah, Washington, USA. The company operates as a multi-billion dollar global retailer, utilizing a membership-based business model that focuses on high-volume sales of a limited selection of products.
