      It was! I got that information from a biased source though, I worked with Petco corporate.

      The idea is: you operate at a loss to undercut your competitors, in hopes you’ll attract long time customers. Eventually, they either ramp up costs, or legitimately have a way to cut down the costs of operations. Usually, it’s the latter.

      If I remember correctly, most of their money was also spent on marketing, which honestly worked. We’ll see how that continues to play out, though.

    How’s that BBBY turnaround going? And GameStop - that’s a $1000/share company now, right?
