Several years ago I was touring a lab in Harvard Medical School and I was surprised to see Legos in use. They were being used to hold specimens that were constantly needed to switch heights and Legos were very flexible for the task.
I love primark. It's very affordable. I bought lots of things from primark in Madrid. I was going there every day during my vacation. It's my favorite store ❤.
One of my family member is by all definition a dream customer for many of the businesses highlighted here. Over the years they've said exactly what these businesses wanted them to feel while shopping at their locations. It's fascinating to see this economic relationship playout so perfectly from both sides.
In my experience, taking a picky spouse to Trader Joe’s is the best way to get them to expand their horizons. Everything there seems so appealing even if it’s out of your comfort zone. For anyone wondering, I was the picky spouse.
Did you know that if an employee over hears you express a desire to try a particular item without having to buy it, the employee will open that very product and let you taste it right then and there! You can tell that I really like the place!
@@robertafierro5592 Trader Joe's worker here! Since the pandemic our store no longer has this option (although I'm not sure about stores outside our socal area!). Instead we now have an extremely lenient return policy, so if you don't like something just bring it back no questions asked!
I LOVE TRADER JOES!!❤❤❤ My favorite store I go at least 2 to 3 times a week!! The best customer service, love the specialty items, and love the organic fruits. Best of all their prices are BETTER than the box stores!!! They are my first stop in grocery shopping.

I've ordered online with Chipotle several times and the food is always horrible. I assume they have different procedures to ensure the food is made and packed in a way that is conducive for delivery or takeout. In my experience, the food is overly dry or has too few ingredients to ensure the burrito is wrapped tight and doesn't leak. I always choose to go to the restaurant and some time eat inside. It's worth it to the company to maintain that experience for people.
I don’t get the hate for “repeated content”, surprisingly even though I’m a subscriber I haven’t seen any of these videos and thoroughly enjoyed this compilation
I mostly agree with your opinion, but it would be very helpful if they write it in the headline. Otherwise many people waste their expensive time by watching the first 5 or more minutes until they suddenly notice that they already watched the whole video which is really annoying. That’s the reason why some of them get mad.
Right! I'm at work grooming dogs, and I like that I don't have to keep looking for other videos. I would like a title read though before the next topic
They also accept Foodstamps! Even though they didn't hire me when I applied for a position on their team, I still.will.always shop there. They're Animal friendly and they always look out for their Customers. Their prices are simply Terrific and EVERYTHING is Organic.
Primark (Penney's, as I know it) is one of those businesses I don't like, but I'm still very impressed by. They started from pretty humble beginnings with 1 store on Mary Street in Dublin city centre, and while they've watched many shops on Mary Street change hands since 1969, Penneys has remained the entire time, evolving with the times, not trying to be a historic monument. They've just continuously made the right moves to keep themselves in the public sphere and reinventing their image when things haven't worked for them. A lot of businesses have failed where Primark succeeded, it could have just as easily been them, but they've clearly had the right people steering the ship to be in such a strong position when a lot of other retailers in their space are struggling.
1:26 you guys showed Aldi but they actually don’t own Trader Joe’s. Aldi in the US is owned by Aldi Süd and Trader Joe’s is owned by Aldi Nord. They were started by two brothers who couldn’t see eye to eye so they went on their own. In Germany I think they don’t use Trader Joe’s I think they just use Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd
Primark is a terrific company with an innate understanding of who its customer is. It was originally an Irish company. The business model was a husband, wife with 4 kids to house, feed, clothe & put through college. Although its quality is not top notch, its prices are very competitive. Its buyers are very canny as the company offers some great designer dupes & is fashion forward. It endeared itself to the British public because it took no taxpayer cash during lockdown but continued to pay the staff itself full pay for having to stay at home.
Spirit stores can be yearound store - do New Year day parties in store, Valentines, Easter, Spring fest, july 4th pariotic month, Summer picnic fest, haloween, thanksgiving, xmas. It can be almost year round. It should be the place to be for seasonal festivities year round.
I'm from Germany so therefore I know Aldi and Trade Joe's. However I somehow got the impression that Trader Joe's is seen as expensive in the US. It always seems like a special occasion going to TJ in videos. Or am I confusing it with another store chain?🤔
True- maybe because of the size? The building and its items are sold in practical convenient size, whereas in "normal US grocery stores" everything is almost huge in size and has different options.
Primark also known as Pennys in Ireland it’s homebase had to change its names for obvious reasons. The logical connection to the US was Boston because Boston Irish were already familiar with the brand Pennys
Worked at TJ Maxx for 12 years. Seemed like we did the best during the recession in 2008-09. We'd get some shoppers coming in almost daily cause we'd always be putting out stuff and you can't count on it being there next time you visit. We did not keep a back stock and low level staff had discretion on where to stock each time. Often just shoving it on the shelves. People like the treasure hunt for sure.
OK LISTEN UP, I been struggling for two years with finding a good strategy and THIS ONE IS GOLDDDDDDDD. I can’t believe it was this easy. LOL THANKS YOU’RE THE BEST!!
I appreciate this strategy. It really works well. I've been practicing with my demo account and I'm winning alot. Thank you for everything. You truly are the trader!
I’ve been diligently working, saving and contributing towards financial freedom and early retirement, but the economy so far since the pandemic has eaten away most of my portfolio, what I want to know is this: Do I keep contributing to my portfolio in these unstable markets or do I look into alternative sectors.
Effective personal finance management is more important than the amount of money saved, regardless of whether income is earned through job or investment. Individuals can seek counsel from a certified financial advisor to optimize financial outcomes, who can provide specialized advice and methods to decrease expenses and maximize income.
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.
I like this. I always wondered how they survived. I never noticed it wasn’t around all year. The line was around the entire store when I went last year so it must be working. And party city seems to be struggling
I don't dislike trader joes, i just feel ike i have to hit two stores if go there. They don't have the selection. Great for someone that wants frozen or premade stuff...but if you actually cook its difficult to plan a meal and get everything you need there.

interesting when you compare these business strategies across various countries, Trader Joe an American owned subsidiary of aldi which uses the same business strategy in Australia. still Aldi in Australia doesn’t have near the market share of the duopolies Woolworths and Coles people seem to be blind to the higher prices just shows you that the sheep culture is alive and well
The funny thing is, when they came out with the first electronic game. I think was Atari in 1976? My mother played it. Not so much her children. But then, I grew up when children played outside, and not with electronic devices. We put our shoes on and ran around town
Maybe true but even with all of the recent inflation prices only increased modestly at Trader Joe’s whereas prices increased massively at Safeway and other big grocery chains.
This video offers a fascinating exploration into the strategies employed by some of the world's most successful businesses. From Trader Joe's focus on offering a limited range of items to T.J. Maxx thriving in recessions, each chapter delves into the unique approaches taken by these brands. By hearing directly from CEOs and business leaders, viewers gain insights into the reasoning behind these strategies and how they contribute to the companies' overall success. Whether it's the treasure-hunt model of Costco or the innovative offerings of Nintendo, this series sheds light on the economics driving these iconic brands.
The old chipotle strategy was charge people a fair price for a pretty darn good product with a good coutilization of ingredients. The new strategy is to give people HALF the amount they used to give. My last two bowls were literally only half full and it seems to be a trend nationwide I understand watching your efficiencies, but being frugal is goodm being cheapazz is bad. They are chasing away customers

It's funny to hear Chipotle execs bragging about the online only make line, because every single Chipotle I go to doesn't have enough kitchen staff to keep both lines fully stocked. They are constantly having to hop between the two and sometimes the online person is just standing there because there's no meats stocked in the online line.
Chipotle separate make lines dint exist as far as I've seen. I've been to maybe 5 locations where I'm in line behind 5 online orders that somehow take priority over in person customers. Not to mention how quality has fallen off a cliff.
Even though I loved eating Chipotle for many years, I got sick eating a one location in Chandler AZ which was e-coli and Noroviruis a couple of months ago. This was confirmed by testing. I'm done eating at this places...
If it goes up dramatically I’m going to drop my contract to part time. Undergraduate and postgraduate student loans are already battering me. I’ll go back to full time when my student loans are written off.

Lots of money is spent on social behavior, just wait until you figure out the gov does the same to manufacture consent towards political policy.

I love it too but I feel the prices are going up and also shrikflation,
How can you possibly go to a grocery store 3 times a week lol unless you walk to work and it's on the way
The only item lacking are their bread selection.
Fun fact. Primark is an Irish company. It’s called Pennys there but that name was already taken in the UK so they called it Primark
Its parent company is Associated British Foods now. Although it’s still headquartered in Dublin.

Aldi Nord has "Trader Joes" branded items here tho :)
Aldi sud does own trader Joe as you mention. If you look closely you can see that the logo is different.
the vocal fry is real
Don't understand why people purposefully speak like that.
I stopped the video bc of this
I don’t think it’s intentional
I wish there was trader joe's in Canada
Great video.. Amazing work, thank you and big respect for the production !
Wow I never knew Irish retailer Primark/ Penneys were even in the USA😮
Don’t fall in love with your favorite items at Trader Joe’s. It will get cancelled!.. I want my White Balsamic Vinegar back!
And the wonton soup!

Love primark! What?! Primark opened in the US? Used to fly to europe just to go shopping to primark 😂
I bought a used a Rolex in 2020 on line. It’s beautiful and I got it before the boom. The value has more than doubled
i never knew asian also talk with vocal fry
omg Im glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that, it was actually grating to my ears.
I love chipotle, looks like I’m going back again tonight after watching this video
Very Informative Thanks for sharing God bless
2 Buck Chuck!
What? no loyalty program? I've been looking for years for a store without a loyalty program...is this true? And no, I am not being sarcastic!
they made a strategy together to advertise in wsj
I left America 5 years ago, one of the thing I miss the most is shopping at TJ.
Spirit stores can be yearound store - do New Year day parties in store, Valentines, Easter, Spring fest, july 4th pariotic month, Summer picnic fest, haloween, thanksgiving, xmas. It can be almost year round. It should be the place to be for seasonal festivities year round.
Exactly..this current model is restrictive
Shrinkflation, average taste, average quality doesnt warrant the increase in prices. Let them SINK.
Quality content. Thanks
Super Good Compilation of business. Thanks

OMG yes please! And I really hope that they will bring the same Japanese food concept to Australia's 7-Eleven next!!!
OK LISTEN UP, I been struggling for two years with finding a good strategy and THIS ONE IS GOLDDDDDDDD. I can’t believe it was this easy. LOL THANKS YOU’RE THE BEST!!
Jose deserves it all!
Wonderful video
TJs and Chipotle literally fav food co’s ever!!
Amazing content 👍
Those 60 thousand stores they open will be part of the 80kntjat close
So Aldi bought it and made it like Aldi?
So the strategy of the new Barnes & noble boss (ex waterstones) is to copy waterstones, even down to the exact same shelving.
Something about Barnes and nobles seemed mimicked
Love Spirit Holloween!
I once walked into a chipotle hyped by american food videos. Saw a burrito was 3 times the price of a döner, walked out and got a döner.
Pennys (primark) is so good because of the price & its handy for kids clothes.
I appreciate this strategy. It really works well. I've been practicing with my demo account and I'm winning alot. Thank you for everything. You truly are the trader!
What a treat!
Great video
correction on 3:56: Trader Zoe's can add and remove items to and from its shelves.
Dominos have left the small towns.
if tthey moved into California would be wild outside of the malls in the north big boom for them
If you want aluminum foil or Coca Cola, you are out of luck at Trader Joes. Come for the Scandinavian Swimmers, leave with your weekly shopping haul.

Bananas are cheap in most stores as it's a loss-leader, purposefully sold at a loss to get more people into the store to buy other stuff.
Maybe true but even with all of the recent inflation prices only increased modestly at Trader Joe’s whereas prices increased massively at Safeway and other big grocery chains.
chipotle's menu is NOT small. its huge. they have more options like subway but its costimizable like you said.
