Summary
Odds are youâre getting a costume from Spirit Halloween this week, at one of their 1,400 seasonal locations â But Spiritâs real estate operation follows a strict 3-part calculation.
Microsoft just completed its biggest acquisition ever: $69B for video games â Microsoftâs âhouse of brandsâ is 2nd in value only to Appleâs âbranded houseâ.
And Costco makes more money selling clothing than Lululemon or Ralph Lauren do â And itâs all because Costcoâs co-founder believes prices can be like a drug.
