Home Depot
Home Depot appears in Costco through Bernie Marcus studying Price Club’s warehouse model before founding the home-improvement retailer. The episode also uses Home Depot as a retail comparison for inventory turns, saying Costco turns inventory faster.
In the source, Home Depot is not a Costco clone; it is evidence that Price Club’s warehouse simplicity influenced broader big-box retail thinking.
