Problem 2

Some analysts comparing other retailers and Costco claim that because Costco has half the number of employees as Walmart per square foot, its stores are only in richer neighborhoods, and people buy in bulk, its model is not possible to replicate in other retailers. Do you agree? Why or why not?
