Sam's Club / WalMart Could Get Some Competition

Could Knoxville get a Costco?

http://blogs.knoxnews.com/knx/flory/2008/07/who_wants_costco.html


Costco, for those who aren't familiar, is like Sam's Club, but they tend to be more popular in some markets because they pay/benefit their employees much better (reducing turnover), doesn't squash unionization attempts (although most stores are not unionized... the benefits are good enough that there's often not a desire to unionize), and still manages to offer the same prices (for arguably better goods). A cashier starts at $9.50 and can be making $40k in four years.

I got turned off from Wal-Mart when they built themselves on "Made in the USA" goods and in the blink of an eye turned into a giant pipeline for Chinese-made goods. That's not to say Costco doesn't sell overseas manufactured goods (it's hard for buyers to find U.S.-based suppliers now for shoes, textiles, etc), but Costco didn't hoodwink the country and didn't actively seek to shift its suppliers away from the United States.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Nowadays, I feel good, I begin take up real income.
It gets down to select a proper partner who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the profit with me.

You can ask, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
