Patterns of Quality at Costco with Peter Malizia

A conversation on the small, powerful patterns that have made Costco endure. Peter unpacks what is unique about the business model that leads to its long-term success, how the culture has evolved over the decades, and how Costco measures customer value differently from everyone else.

They dig into the critical unit economics, how Costco kept the model so simple over time where others couldn’t, the weakness that emerges from being the largest in your space, the story behind the famous rotisserie chicken, and why Jim Sinegal was so unique.
