>> Can the rest of corporate America become more like Costco? Or will Costco, buffeted by the same disruptive changes affecting all of retail, be forced to become more like everyone else? Costco is like a subscription service. They make no money on what they sell. ALL their profits come from subscription fees Who told you they don't make money on their sales? They have a whole product line called Kirkland that they make and sell in their stores. From what I understand, its a significant contributor to their bottom line.
