The Best One Yet
đ´ââ ď¸ âThatâs huuuuge shrinkageâ â Walmartâs $2.5B theft. Fanaticsâ Yankees strategy. AutoZoneâs grandma car.
Ep. 873
â˘
We just calculated that Walmart lost $2.5B this year from shoplifting. The sports apparel brand Fanatics just hit a $31B valuation because itâs borrowing the business model of the New York Yankees. And AutoZoneâs stock just hit an all-time high because Americaâs cars are acting like Americaâs grandmas.
