Costco has always mostly leased their properties , often moving into Vacant old empty K-Marts, Sears etc. They are also located in middle income areas but lease older Industrial Box Buildings at cheap leases.

As a former employee and current stock holder, I can tell you they own almost all their US properties. They've been hammering that home in perspectus meetings for 30 years.

Each time I go to Costco, I somehow spend at least $100. Costco has good prices and excellent customer service. And they pay their workers well.
It's a disruptor and one of US companies that can succeed anywhere in world.

Yes thats true in most States , In California some areas have no land near City so they leased a bunch of empty
K- Marts and other places but maybe they had options on them, I dont know.

Entirely possible. CA is a different animal, even for Costco. They even had a different employee handbook for CA because they were union
 
Tucker Carlson Sees Conspiracy In America's Eggs Shortage

"Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed that the nationwide egg shortage that has hit the U.S. in recent months is the product of a conspiracy between the media and the Biden administration.

Talking about the way the price of eggs has recently shot up and how the product has disappeared from many grocery store shelves across the country, the television host alleged the real reason behind the egg shortage might not be the bird flu outbreak raging in dozens of countries worldwide, as experts say—but instead the feed the birds are given.

"Some of them, some chicken farmers, have noticed something odd. Their chickens aren't laying eggs or as many eggs. And these chickens don't appear sick with avian flu. They're not dying. They're still alive. They're just not producing eggs," he said."


Tucker was only asking the question, of course MSN wants to claim differently. I haven't asked my son how his six chickens egg production is, but I will.

PS--Son says its a hot topic among his wife's Chicken Group and they buy premium feed from TS and have seen no reduction in production. And glad that someone is addressing the issue.

Not in Flyover America - but perhaps in the hundreds of thousands per acre...
In following Casey General Stores I found they were paying about $300-400,000 for land in the smaller towns and up to double in larger markets. But generally, that was based upon a market study that indicated the traffic count was much higher. A 1.43 acre lot in Gravette, AR sold for $250,000 (2019) and the traffic count there is 8,500 - 10,000 while in 20,000 pop. Siloam Springs, Casey paid $450,000 a few years earlier, and the traffic count is about 22,000. And in larger Bentonville, the land they built one store on was $850,000 and has a traffic count of 41,000...
