Costco is one of 2 companies I truly admire. Always looking for more. Anyone with other suggestions?

Curious to who is the second? Penny for your thoughts?

I'd like to know too. Zappos? Just the first thought that came to mind. I don't know that much about them but I have heard good things.

It depends on what you admire them for.

For good treatment of people? Look up Semco.

For strong brand management? Look up Procter & Gamble.

For strong marketing? Look up Nike.

For great engineering? Look up Google.

Ones that are good at all of the above? Very rare!

In-n-Out Burger has a similar reputation. Privately held so it's hard to get info.
