I don't know about this Country Store business,I thought I read they generate $5 million worth of business a month or something from each store and the Store costs anywhere from half a million to a million depending on where it is at,plus the the salary and overhead.So if true they get about a $1 Billion in revenue from the stores but at what cost is the question and what % of business comes from the Store? The beauty about Dell's model is that they generate revenue by hardly deploying any of their assets, quite unlike the holy cow people and therein lies the advantage. One thing for sure,it costs heck a of a lot more to sell through the Cow Store than through the internet. Hope Kumar doesn't have to eat crow again with his Holy Cow predictions,then again 'they' would have made their money by then and the schmoes get to hold the bag as usual,Yup never fails.
