(Reuters) - Costco Wholesale slightly beat Wall Street expectations for first-quarter revenue on Thursday, as more Americans turned to the membership-only retail chain to shop for everything from food to home furnishings for the holiday season.

The company's quarterly revenue rose to $62.15 billion, from $57.80 billion a year earlier. Analysts on average were expecting $62.08 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.
