Hmm.. they might want to look at Sears or Walmart.

Sears is more or less dead. Walmart is struggling to keep market share with amz. With groceries their only saving grace

If price is their long term plan with retail that is a loosing proposal. Once they dominant they might be able to sqeeze the market for a few years maybe a decade but them something else will topple them

Sears was started over 115 years ago and was a dominating force for most of those years.

Walmart is responsible for the 7th, 8th and 9th largest fortunes in the world built before modern monetary policy. Further they completely changed retail in America.

Those seem like weird counter examples.
