Costco sells gas so cheap it barely breaks even on it — and now it's building massive standalone gas stations with no store attached. That's not a loss leader. That's a billion-dollar subscription play hiding in plain sight at the pump.*Curious what other ways retail brands are getting ahead? We spotted five trends:* https://clickhubspot.com/tgkqWhile Kroger and every other grocery chain use fuel discounts as a backend loyalty perk you have to earn through gamified point schemes, Costco offers $0.20–$0.40 off per gallon, unconditionally, to anyone with a $65 membership card. For the average American driver, that discount alone pays for the membership fee by the end of the year. Which means the pump isn't a perk — it's the product.
