The Business Strategies Behind Chick-fil-A, Costco, Starbucks and More | WSJ The Economics Of

Im not going to "subscribe" to go to a store.

I hate Costco because it takes too long and its chaos.

Target is a “discount” store?????
To me it’s the Walmart for rich people from how much more expensive it tends to be!

I will never shop at Sephora. Team No Makeup

Crocs were most popular to me around 2011 when I had a pair and everyone else around me seemed to too

I like the thought of visiting an IKEA and come out speaking some Swedish

I have no hope of ever buying furniture from IKEA

“To try to understand their concerns” (Starbucks unions)

What’s difficult to understand there??
These execs are supposed to be brainy folks

You know what’s the best way to deal with long lines and express your order clearly? Order online. Some folks on the drive thru just don’t have their lives together.

What’s sad is the filet in the CFA sandwich is blander than their tenders which is blander than their nuggets.

The Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich isn’t even my favourite. Hardees wins.

AWESOME 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

AMAZING 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

COOL 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Dollar general are pedators

PR LOVE CHIKEN FÌLE

I traveled from europe to the US in 2020 and i LOVED chick fil a , the caloriecount enougth for 2 days, the unrestricted amount of artifical flavors, the GMO, the sugar & saturated fat contents so high they are diabetes inducing....God bless america

Great documentary as usual! Well done WSJ, always enjoying watching you. Great documentary as usual! Well done WSJ, always enjoying watching you.

Here's how it really works! They scam investors and take their money. Then they take that money pay for everything . They keep all the profits from anything they bought with the investors' money.
Then they scam more people into thinking they are buying shares of the company and again buy all the needed materials and keep all the profits. They never pay the shareholders anything. This is when they hire lawyers so they don't get bothered by their stupid shareholders.

loved the breakdown

KFC Pizzahut where?

We need more of these WSJ. NEED MORE ECONOMICS OF PUBLIC COMPANIES!🎉

Why no comparisons to In N Out on the ChickFilA segment ? Here in Utah I see longer lines at InNOut.

Web designer here!

Worst chicken sandwich I've ever had.

Seattle once had a different cool independent coffeehouse in every neighborhood. Then came Starbucks. Now gone

Was this filmed in 2021 or something? Ditch the masks, the pandemic is over. Shouldn't even be mentioned at this point.

Thanks, but I'd prefer not supporting a homophobic business, like Chick-fil-a.

Dollar general sucks and there is always issues with inventory not being put out and understaffing. Probably because they don’t pay their employees enough.

If you are a Christian and goest to Church on Sundays to thank the Lord Jesus Christ, then having a guaranteed Sunday off is a win-win.

I wish they would get rid of the peanut oil so I could actually eat their food.

I like how " In N Out " is not noted in in this.. wow haha.

I will forever be greatful to you, you have change my entire life and I will preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear that with just a small investment you saved me from going into huge financial debt.

Maine only has one chickfila so I used to have my stepmom take me 2 hours (4 round trip) to bangor for Chick-fil-A😭

Just check the ingredients. It’s addiction.

You missed the tax structure strategy of Ikea

Interesting strategies

The Starbucks in Sofia Bulgaria was unclean, garbage everywhere, customer service was rude, coffees were cold and they did not deliver what we paid for. They basically put coffee and milk together and to my girlfriend they gave a cold coffee that had been rejected by someone else. The place was do disgustingly dirty we just wanted to get out of there asap.
Garbage bulga.rians ruin everything

Finally, some insights into the strategies behind major brands. It's about time CEOs and business leaders shared their approaches.

I'm not right-wing or left-wing, I'm the whole chicken😂

Dose chik fa la frances e have to be Christian too? Can they be Muslim, atheist or LBGTQ+? Are they paying there workers a living wage? Waht are the working conditions like? Do they disclose thay use penout oil? Is there any alternatives for people with nut allergies?
These are real questions.
PS
I love chik fala food!

IKEA: it's an old idea, it's why we give model cars and planes to kids instead of just giving them a toy

Yes, Starbuck's exploits their "partners." How come the Costco segment excluded the cheap food near the exit? How much does it contribute to their annual profits?

1h of Wall Street Journal giving a good image of big companies without nearly any journalistic criticism. Coffee agriculture problem with Starbucks? Workers rights in these companies? Plastic pollution? Well, what can you expect from WSJ...

Make your own chicken sandwich, coffee, stock up your own supplies

You can do with out them.

The AirBnB portion feels more like an exposé. Shootings, layoffs, losses etc.

Excellent content
