I bought my TV from Costco. Thank you, Costco. But Best Buy and Toys R Us are similar. In that, they're a place you go spend a couple hours and feel a lot of products and obviously, consumer electronics and toys are different, but you're going for a brick and mortar experience for both of them. Okay.

Yeah,.I definitely am a Kirkland fan, and if anyone listening to the podcast wants to let me borrow their Costco membership... Suzy Davidkhanian:. Kirkland Beer. Sara Lebow:. It won't be that useful to me because I don't have a car, so I can't really buy in bulk. Sky Canaves:. I have not found Kirkland beer at my local Costco. They only seem to sell-. Suzy Davidkhanian:. I didn't know they had it.

And wholesale stores like Costco are doing really well in pharmacy, and so they really have to rethink what they're for because right now for me, there's a zombie CVS in my neighborhood and it's across the street from the still-standing Walgreens, which I hope doesn't close because I go there if I need something right away that's a few minutes away or downstairs.

And I think that's what a few of those examples that you mentioned, including Walmart, the Home Depot, Costco is another one, that have a massive impact on mass merchant retail in Canada. So a key drawback for some of the failures is trying to apply some of the strategies that worked in the US and apply them to Canada.

Many retailers launched paid memberships over the past three years. For the most part, they were intended to increase revenues and build loyalty during the pandemic-driven ecommerce boom. But the slowdown in revenue growth indicates that consumers are only willing to spend so much on retail subscriptions, particularly amid economic uncertainty.

Well, it's for non-emergent primary care type issues, but we're seeing retailers like GNC and Costco and even CVS and Walgreens don't have subscription based primary care services, but they do show you the cost of a service online as you're looking to schedule a visit.

I think you're seeing that analogy lends itself well to some of the things that we're seeing on the retail and delivery end of it where you're basically being sold on an offering, whether it's a Prime membership or a Costco membership or whatever, and none of these things are really new.

You can tune in tomorrow to hang out with host Sara Lebow on the Reimagining Retail Show as she speaks with VP of content, Suzy Davidkhanian, and senior analyst on the retail team, Zak Stambor, all about the genius of Costco.
