Chapter 10: No Acquisitions for Costco

Costco doesn't rely on mergers or acquisitions; it doesn't have to. As I mentioned in a previous post, Costco is like a one stop shop; there is something in there for everyone. It can offer deep discounts by selling in bulk. Because there are not many like it out there, there are fewer chances for mergers and acquisitions. It is a retail powerhouse and remains that way without mergers and acquisitions.
