SNAPFORWARD

Costco is having itself another great year. Total sales are up 6% through ¾ of its fiscal year, which ends in August, and CSG expects that trend to play out to the tune of $72 billion or so in grocery sales when all is said and done. Global new store openings for FY2017 can be expected to reach 29 after the company opens another dozen in its fourth quarter.
