How Costco Prices for Loyalty and Low Margins
In this episode of Pricing Power, Lucas and Luna dive into Costco's famously disciplined pricing strategy. They unpack the 14 percent markup cap on branded items, the 15 percent limit on Kirkland Signature, and the legendary $1.50 hot dog combo that hasn't changed price in 40 years. They explore how membership fees drive profits, why Costco treats suppliers differently, and what other retailers can learn from a model that prioritizes loyalty over margin. A concrete look at one of retail's most consistent pricing philosophies.
