America Is Divided. Except at Costco.

About this episode

In an increasingly fragmented America, could Costco be one of the last places that still brings everyone together? Michael explores how the warehouse giant became an unlikely cultural phenomenon—from $5 rotisserie chickens and $1.50 hot dogs to date nights, marriage proposals and remarkably loyal employees—and asks listeners: What is Costco’s secret sauce? Listen in about how its not just a place to shop - its a place to mingle. Original air date 14 July 2026. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
