🎃 “Halloween Inc.” — Spirit Halloween’s zombie retail. Microsoft’s house of brands. Costco’s Kirkland clothing.

Odds are you’re getting a costume from Spirit Halloween this week, at one of their 1,400 seasonal locations — But Spirit’s real estate operation follows a strict 3-part calculation. Microsoft just completed its biggest acquisition ever: $69B for video games — Microsoft’s “house of brands” is 2nd in value only to Apple’s “branded house”.  And Costco makes more money selling clothing than Lululemon or Ralph Lauren do — And it’s all because Costco’s co-founder believes prices can be like a drug. $COST $MSFT $TGT Subscribe to our newsletter: tboypod.com/newsletter Want merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?
