      Oh I beg to differ (a bit) on the apples & oranges. The common thread is diehard customers. Customers defend Costco & TJ with great zeal.

        Their product lines are apples and oranges and always have been. It's a useless comparison.

          Costco's Jim Sinegal (founder, former CEO) likes the TJ business model

            I guess I would never have held those two up against one another as some sort of comparison -- while they both sell food, I guess I'm not seeing enough other similarities in their locations, store formats, or business models.

            The real answer? "It depends"

              agreed, that one was flawed from the start.
