I used to get the rotisserie chicken from Publix , and a couple tubs of potato salad and I coiod eat lunch for a week , for the same price as one Wendy’s or McDonald’s meal
It's everything, Costco leverages their volume against vendors to sell product. no one can compete, well Sams club, but no one else.

Just because you started the thread does not mean you have a say in where it goes
Errr I mean...wow!!! Big numbers
I've gone down the rotisserie chicken rabbit hole. Looks like they lose about 40 million yearly. In 2019 Costco built a 450 million dollar plant that produces two million chickens a week. I had no idea the US consumes 9.2 billion chickens yearly, 900 million are rotisserie. Costco has roughly 20% of the US rotisserie chicken market.
The economics of Costco rotisserie chicken
Costco’s popular chickens have stayed fixed at $4.99 for more than a decade — even in the face of raging inflation. But it’s come at a cost.

I said it without the fancy chart, but I agree 100%

We buy one every couple months. We shred it and use half to either make chicken tortilla soup, or chicken enchiladas. Freeze the other half to use for the same dishes another dinner.

I remember when it was price club 😂 I think you can still just go in and buy a gift card without a membership. Not sure if they changed that
I live 4ish hours from the nearest Costco. I take coolers and ice with me and get 4-8 Rotisserie Chickens with every visit. I vist once every couple months. I bring them home and my wife and I break them all down and split the meat into white and dark. We then portion them into portion bags and put them in the freezer. We use the meat to make multiple meals a week. It is by far the most cost effective way we have found to get chicken for recipes, and we both think it tastes damn good.
My wife grew up within walking distance of a Costco, so she has shown me the Costco light, haha. We have the elite membership and spend enough money there that it more than pays for itself with the cash back. I can't imagine how much we would spend there if we lived close to one.

We used to buy one or two Costco chickens every trip. We usually go once or twice a month. We have since started raising our own meat chickens, so we don't buy Costcos anymore. It's pretty amazing the amount of chicken Costco goes through, especially because they don't make any profit off of a chicken. If you go to Costco, and just buy rotisserie chickens, Costco isn't making any money, and they are likely losing money. That being said, I can almost guarantee no one has ever gone into Costco and JUST bought chicken.
