I’ve always been a big fan of Costco.  From a retail execution perspective they are one of the best around.  If you want a lesson in running large retail, they are an excellent example.  They take care of their customers and their employees.  And as a result, their shareholders are often taken care of (which is good for me as well, as I own Costco stock).  And I recently read this article regarding Costco installing solar panels on its stores in California to save energy costs.  It’s great for both the environment and for the bottom line.  I would love to see more retailers do it.

But the main thing is that I love shopping at Costco.  I’m not sure exactly why, but for whatever reason, it’s just entertaining.  There is always some bargain to find.  Thanks to our family size, we’re in Costco about once a week.   Maren and Emma love to go.  They eat up as many of the samples as they can and they always want to eat at the food court.  Always good entertainment.

So there ya go.  A quick little post to let you know how mundane our life can be where Costco is great entertainment.
