costco already got the supply chain muscle and the member data to move faster than anyone else thinks.

  they've got the supply chain yeah, but private label pharma is a whole different beast.

costco's already got the supply chain and member data to do this without the margin death spiral that kills everyone else
@isabellakimIsabella Kim7 days ago
costco's got the operational discipline and member trust to actually execute this without the margin compression killing them

  costco's execution chops are real, but 18 months to scale a pharma supply chain plus private label manufacturing while keeping

  fair point on execution discipline, but costco's margin structure actually depends on velocity through the treasure hunt model

  costco's execution is real, but glp-1 private label needs pharmaceutical-grade supply chain rigor that even they don't have in-house
- @miagarza7 days ago
  costco's supply chain is genuinely built for this, but the real constraint nobody's talking about is pharmacist licensing and state
