	Fedco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fedco (Federal Employees' Distributing Company) was a membership-based department store chain that operated in Southern California from 1948 to 1999.
		Fedco predated the giant chains Wal-Mart, Target, Kmart, and fellow membership chain Costco, but remained a regional chain and eventually was unable to compete with the national retail titans.
		Fedco filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1999, at which point it had been the longest-operating membership-based store in the country.

		Now, 28 years later, Fedco is a $2 million-a-year business selling 15 tons of seed and growing steadily at 10 percent a year for many years.
