Costco's Strict Margin Cap and Competitor Margins
Costco aims to provide exceptional value to consumers by enforcing a strict margin cap of 14% on products, ensuring members get better deals than anywhere else. They negotiate hard but fairly with suppliers to secure unbeatable prices. The only exception is Kirkland signature, which allows a 15% markup.
