I’m a fan of Costco. From the $1.50 hot dog and soda to having to buy stuff that is packaged bigger to food samples and happy employess. I especially like that last part…happy employees. We know of stores where we know the employess hate working there…not at Costco.
I think that most inventors or people who have an idea for an invention who shop at Costco can imagine selling their product there too. It seems like everything is sold in bulk so you’ve have to sell a lot…to each store. But how do you manage your product into Costco or any other big box retailer?
