I'm betting when analyzed in terms of revenue dollars per 100,000 residents, the Dimond Costco blows away every other STORE on the planet, not just every other Costco store.
Just had a serious discussion with someone that knows exactly how the numbers add up and was showed how to understand the current numbers versus the ones I was understanding...
Adding the second store really changed the dynamics, but it really did nothing but move than more difficult aspects of doing business off-campus.
Yup, there are bigger stores than there used to be.
Show me another store where another store was opened to make the new store work...
