Story #1
Compare
and contrast with how Sam’s Club and BJ’s Wholesale are doing. Especially in area of membership as
Costco seems to be doing well there.
Story #2
Dive
into Costco’s operating costs…if profit is up 27%, but revenue is only up 14%,
then it must be doing something right on the costs side of things. What is it they’re doing?
Story #3
How
much does the average person spend at Costco?
How often does the average person go to Costco? Does Costco supplement, or replace, the more “traditional”
supermarket for most customers? Once
the answers to these questions have been obtained, how is this reflected in the
earnings statement?
