Business 150 - Figure It Out.

[bjcheung77]

TLDR: In short...
CEO says: We are losing our rear ends!
Co-Founder says: Figure It Out.

For some reason, Costco decided not to raise the cost of the drink/hotdog combo, it's still $1.50 (for now anyways). From the looks of things, they'll keep it at that rate too. Instead of raising pricing to this, they've built their own plant or two for churning out these hotdogs.

Every time we go shopping there, we get the drink/hotdog and either an extra fries or a salad. I mean, I wouldn't just go there for the food, but while we're already shopping, we would eat there as well. I think that's the main draw for people shopping, there is either a food court at the mall or whatever.
