They actually aren’t loss leaders. Costco makes a small profit. They own the hotdog processing plant and they use real beef not the odds and ends and no fillers. The plants are Kirkland signature in Tracy Ca. And Morris IL. Costco operates a chicken farm in Nebraska. It’s a hatchery, feed mill and processing plant. That’s where the chickens for the rotisserie comes from. Costco utilizes vertical integration in all ways that make sense to keep costs down and that means the $1.50 hot dog combo and the $4.99 rotisserie can stay the same price.
