Amazon has emerged as a dominant force in the field of e-commerce, but well-known investor and Berkshire Hathaway vice chairman Charlie Munger said Costco still has a big advantage over its retail rival.
“Costco, I think, is one thing Amazon doesn’t have. People really believe in delivering tremendous value to Costco, ”Munger said during the annual journal shareholder meeting of the Daily Journal Corporation, according to Yahoo Finance. “And that’s why Costco presents some danger to Amazon. Because they have a better reputation for providing value than practically anyone, including Amazon. ”

Costco, a traditional brick-and-mortar retailer that uses the membership-only model, reported revenue of 3 163.2 billion in its 2020 fiscal year, which ended last August.
