Tom is timely, thought provoking and all about the new brand vision packaged as a Seinfeld stand up. I went to school on his ideas.

We all knew who would be in the #1 position. But I was a bit surprised to see Costco beat out Home Depot and Target. I suppose the fact that in touch economic times, people focus more on the necessities than "Things I'd like to do or have" and the housing market put a dent in Home Depot's numbers. But I would have guessed Target to be above Costco. Not a very wide gap, though.
