You never forget your first Costco
The warehouse-club concept may not be the only way to improve on the standalone corner grocer. We've seen companies such as Whole Foods
Even leading grocers such as Kroger
Still, you never forget your first Costco experience. Did I tell you about those muffins? Of course I did. Sweeter than that were the great gains Costco investors enjoyed through the 1990s. Things haven't gone quite as well on this side of the millennium, however, for the popular Motley Fool Stock Advisor recommendation.
Is Costco about to get its groove back? Did it ever go away? Not all Fools agree. Alyce Lomax is bullish on the warehouse club's prospects, while Ryan Fuhrmann admires the company but not the stock.
So who will bag the better argument? That's what this week's bout is all about.
