| | 📚️ Costco Makes Rare Move To Stop Selling an Item | Costco announced major news on Black Friday: It will discontinue its year-round book section in most of its 600+ U.S. locations. | That is, it plans to remove the section in all but 100 of its stores – but not permanently. Going forward, it will be a seasonal piece of inventory (September to December and other intermittent times). | As FOX Business reported, “Costco told the executives the change was made because stocking books on tables is labor-intensive and must be done by hand rather than by forklift like other products.” | In-person book sales have become less and less common, following a trend Amazon started near its inception. But FOX Business said that Costco will be watching sales for Taylor Swift’s Era Tour book, sold exclusively at Target (beginning on Black Friday). | It sounds like an impermanent change: “If book sales continue to do well, Costco could bring literary sections back to more stores … or all of them could become seasonal if sales lag.” | | 📊 Stat of the Day | | | 💰️ Deal Alert: Today’s Top Deals | | | | | 🎙️ Podcast | | Full Show: Why You Shouldn’t Book Round Trip Domestic Airfare Tickets and Amazon Health Revi |
